Poaching should be banned because:
- It is responsible for diminishing number of animals, especially those belonging to the endangered species category.
- Poachers employ cruel methods of killing
- Poaching reduces the space of the protected areas
- It enhances the risk of spread of zoonotic diseases that spread from non -humans to humans.
