"Poachers often target lions as the species are highly prized in areas such as the Far East..."

Seems that if the assholes in the Far East would stop paying top dollar for this stuff, lions wouldn't be hunted as much.

The same is true of Rhino horn, ivory and other things tough on
African species.
The strange thing is we were hearing about pythons being endangered in
their native habitat because the Asians valued the hide for strings in
some kind of instrument but nobody is making a dent in them in south
Florida. We would welcome a bunch of skin hunters coming in here and
wiping them out.
