It's just a disgusting little ornament on the much larger birthday cake we've got baking in our oven.

To the backdrop of mass die-offs, the rules preventing the extinction of rhinos and tigers are cut by a few power-hungry fools seeking the political support of a few greedy fools who will sell those animals' horns and bones as false cures to a few superstitious fools who believe these worthless tusks and bones have magical powers. It's such dark planetary tragicomedy -- with a focus on "tragic", a kind of satanic genius that even Mikhail Boulgakov couldn't have dreamed up, and it's real.

Encouraging the poaching of keystone species like the tiger is bad for the ecosystem and by consequence any advantages humanity gains from the ecosystem are lost.

This specific thing isn't, just taken against the broader backdrop of similar events and trends.

The idea that we can exploit and destroy a species for our own supposed and unproven benefit is very short sighted and shows we are not a species capable of living holistically with our world.
