    Then they should be stealing from the rich. Not killing endangered species.

    And at ~ $20000 USD/kg for African and ~400000 USD/kg for Asian, and them not taking the meat. Its definitely for profit and not survival.

      It’s simple math, if you kill animals and get caught you get one maybe up to 10 years in prison. If you kill/steal from a millionaire you get lifetime of troubles and jail and possibly put your family in danger too.

        Well, it appears trying to kill an Asian Rhino in India is much more dangerous than robbing the rich.

        Or did you miss the part that they are killing the poachers?
