Exactly what I was thinking.

Side note, anyone available to go on a poacher hunt?

Don't go poacher hunting yourself, arm and pay some locals to do it - help the community and all that, discourage the kind of desperation that leads to poaching in the first place.
I'm game. Let's go protect the wildlife. Though the best course of action would be finding ways to temper demand for poached animals. Easier said than done I know.

Could be a problem if you're trying to hunt poachers.

How about legalizing fraud in these narrow contexts, e.g., passing off fake ivory for the real thing is no longer illegal?
I doubt you'd get busted for passing off fake ivory even without such a change, probably not many people want to out themselves as an ivory buyer to authorities and media.
Education might also help rhinos from losing their tusks. Too many believe that the tusks help verility of all things. Without sounding ethnocentric these cultural beliefs are harmful and incongruent or unbecoming of an educated society
I bring the SDR, you bring the rifle? :)
doxx the poachers
