I believe it is extremely barbaric to do this to an animal just for its tusks , horns ,coat, or organs, then leave them to bleed out. Just as overfishing causes imbalances in the whole marine system, our complex web of life on earth depends on careful and thoughtful use of wildlife species and their habitats and if poaching continues at the rate it is many of these hunted species could become severely endanger or even extinct, and no parent wants to explain to their kid why some animals are not in the wild anymore.
