Help stop the poaching of endangered wildlife.


Help stop the poaching of endangered wildlife.
The Issue
I intend to call upon the PM of Australia to help put an end to the problem of poaching. Poaching is defined as the illegal hunting or capturing of wild animals. There are many types of poaching, and one of them is called shark finning. Shark finning is an example, where sharks are hunted, just so someone can cut of their fin, and discard the rest of the shark. Unable to swim properly, the shark sinks to the bottom of the ocean and dies in an inhuman way due to starvation or being preyed on by other animals.
If this is kept up, eventually, whole species and maybe even ecosystems could end up extinct. The future generations shall never see these animals in the wild or even at all, just because some people had decided to kill this animal for a trophy.
This can be countered if the punishment for being caught poaching was heightened and/or increasing amount and size of protected wildlife areas.
