Because it’s an important detail to the story. Where is the demand coming from?

Sorry, the tone seemed accusatory in your original post. As if the US and Europe were somehow morally above poaching, but I understand that is not the intention.

It's a reasonable accusation though, assuming the number of poaching that come from us and europe is comparably low.

I would've assumed the US and Europe may be a large part of the demand for poached animals.
