POACHING

    Poaching is the killing of wild animals illegally. The government of Kenya has illegalised poaching and anybody found poaching is arrested. The government is plotting to arrest many poachers who endanger wild animals. The poachers kill different animals for different purposes. They use guns to kill elephants. After killing elephants they take the tusks which they sell and get a lot of money.

   The antelopes and gazelles are also killed for their soft meat. Since these animals are getting extinct, the numbers of tourists is getting low with time. The tusk is used to make chains , rings, bracelets, bangles and many others. The Kenyan government has employed many game rangers to help protect the wild animals. The employment of rangers has created employment opportunities for many youths. The rangers are in danger too because they deal with people who also have firearms. The Kenya Wildlife Society have imported choppers which help in fighting for the protection of wild animals.
