Sorry, the tone seemed accusatory in your original post. As if the US and Europe were somehow morally above poaching, but I understand that is not the intention.

It's a reasonable accusation though, assuming the number of poaching that come from us and europe is comparably low.

I would've assumed the US and Europe may be a large part of the demand for poached animals.
