Best Answer

After people continued to hunt them over and over again to keep them from killing livestock

Additional Info: After doing research on this species, I still haven't found the date it was added to the Endangered Species List. I did discover that as far back as 1915, The Dutch Colonial Government instituted a set of protection plans for the dragon. I'll continue to look for the date and which list the Komodo Dragon is listed. Also the statement above is correct, even today the villagers still will poison carrion bait to reduce the population, much as ranchers of the American West do to rid the area of coyotes, wolves, or mountain lions. Even since, the Komodo National Park was established in 1980 and the strict anti-poaching, and protection laws were enacted and enforced.
