Endangered species are species of animals or plants that are at risk of extinction, this means that there are very few of them and they could potentially all die out.

The methods used for capturing this rare species are wasteful and cruel, and their decline is…

but many times consequences are not followed through due to lack of authority or corruption from within. One consequence that poachers face is prison time. The Times put out an article stating that “Poachers caught slaughtering Kenya’s most endangered animals are set to face life in prison, in a dramatic change to lenient existing laws” (Hammer). If this is true then why aren't we hearing about poachers being thrown in jail, but instead we keep hearing about the countless elephants that have…
