Poaching ,for those who lack empathy and character

Why do people choose to poach wild animals?The act of poaching is very disturbing and it puzzles to think that a person enjoys taking away the life of an animal for material gain.Some do it so that they have a trophy to show off, well in my opinion, a live animal out in the wild is the best trophy there is.

Empathy is what these poachers lack.As the human race, we were entrusted as the custodians of this earth, to take care of the fauna and flora, sad to say man has injured both of these and even himself to say the least.It's interesting to note that scientists are working hard and are optimistic that life exists on other planets.Even if life does exist ,you know what that means?Go over there and dominate until injury comes to these life forms.

One may argue that this is human nature.This cannot be so because not all humans are inclined to this destructive tendencies.This can be seen in the worldwide conservation efforts aimed at saving what we have left.

Recent activities indicate that poaching is on the rise and the poachers are getting more and more aggressive.The governments aren't doing enough to help the issue, this would require reaching out to the hearts of the people and give them some empathy.
