Question

In order to protect critically endangered species like tigers should poachers be hunted and shot on sight?

Answer 1

No. You can just report that to the government.

Answer 2

should poachers be shot if they are caught in the act of poaching? no. they are living creatures too. they simply do not understand what they're doing. the majority of people alive today actually believe that human beings don't belong to the natural world, that they are not subject to the laws which guide the community of life. to me, the poaching of endangered species is direct evidence that the current system driven by profit and material accumulation is inherently evil. however, even though the poachers are also murdering, it would not be in the least bit honorable for you to murder them just because they are ignorant or brainwashed/addicted to a destructive culture. these are the kinds of people whose minds would be the most important ones to be changed if you were to drastically shift the way people looked at the world.

Answer 3

I get where your coming from on this....... but, I don't think we should fight a crime with a crime.  Kinda like how some people fight racism with racism (obama's church)........... it will not get us anywhere closer to a solution.  I DO think we should largely increase the punishment for the crime and this would help to detour poachers from committing senseless murder.  I think punishments for crimes should be raised on all offenses.  

Good question  =)

Answer 4

Yes, because if you think about it, people like that dont really care about the enviroment and the different species, so i dont know if they should be shot butt they should def be in trouble

Answer 5

they do that in africa in some states if poachers are seen hunting elephants the soldiers blow there ******* heads off

Answer 6

Can we make rugs out of them?

Answer 7

personally yes yes YES YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 8

No they should be arrested, but not killed.

   I understand your dilemma, I despise Poachers also, and would probably kill one if I saw one!

Answer 9

No. Be careful what you ask for. You might fit the profile of a poacher...

Answer 10

who told you that tigers are critically endangered??  There are actually many very healthy populations of wild tigers in the world, although there are some populations which are having a problem-you should really do more research on a subject before you ask a 'question', and no, people, of which poachers are one, are infinitely more important than any number of tigers...all the tigers in the world are not worth one persons life...you really need to grow up.  Oh by the way, who would you suggest hunt the poachers and shoot them on sight, you??  If they are poachers, they are by definition armed, are you prepared to get in a firefight, and loose your life for tigers???

Answer 11

No. Everyone is entitled to a fair trial. If you allowed what you say, many innocent people who were not poaching would be shot. Maybe even you or me! So don't go there.

Answer 12

Yes. The shock factor alone would slow down the decline of the endangered species... I suggest naming the group "The Poacher Poachers" and hiring highly trained hitmen to do the job.

Best Answer Pls?

Answer 13

The animals should be given weapons and trained how to use them.  Level the playing field.

Answer 14

I believe that we should shoot them with tranquilizers like they sometimes do and then take them to a jail or ship them across the country with nothing! That shipping thing was a jk of course but hey!

Because I am all for animals but humans deserve some respect too....although I don't like to admit it about those cruel beings.
