They kill anything that is attractive. Like Tigers and lions for fur and Elephants for their tusks. Or any other animals there like wild dogs and hippos and crocodiles. They even shoot animals for sheer fun of it sometimes. They also poach rhinos for their horns and the animal population is declining drastically!
