Animal poaching (The illegal hunting or capture of animals.) has many causes, but the overwhelming causes are poverty and sport. Impoverished people can make a living through the lucrative animal trade, while rich people can afford to take trips. The main demands for the animals are: Exotic pets, traditional medicine, and trophy hunting.

It depends on which animal shelter you're talking about. There are some who simply do not treat any animals and they kill all or nearly all animals for illness or space. Some treat minor illnesses then the animal is put up for adoption. If space gets tight, though, they may still kill animals.

There are at least 87 communities in the United States with shelters who do not kill for space, nor do they kill animals with treatable illnesses or animals with behavior problems that can be rehabilitated. These shelters manage to save over 90% of the animals who come through their doors, reserving euthanasia for its true purpose: to end irremediable suffering.

There are only three situations that immediately come to mind where euthanizing an animal has distinct advantages.

1st- An animal has massive physical trauma and is highly unlikely to survive and is euthanized to end its suffering (see #2)

2nd- An animal has a chronic condition in which state it is in immense pain, and the owner feels it to be immoral to allow the animal to suffer any longer than absolutely necessary.

3rd- An animal has been proven to be highly aggressive (for example a dog that mauled a child). It will often be put down to avoid future acts of extreme aggression.

I am sure there are other reasons why an animal would be put down, but I believe these to be the main reasons.

Some will do it simply for money. While you can get more money from smuggling drugs you can also get more jail time if you are caught. Animal smuggling from that stand point is "safer".

Others do it because they want to own an animal that is restricted for some reason, being endangered, or seen as a risk for the local wildlife etc. If they can't get it legally they might try illegaly.

Then there are those who smuggle animals that already are someone's pets. Certain animals have to go through quarantine when travelling from one country to another, and that takes time and can cost the owner a fair bit. Smuggling the animal is the both faster and cheaper.

Man is one of few species which kill for fun. Chimpanzee will sometimes raid another group's territory and massacre (but technically, they are battling for territory). Chimps have been known to walk up to a nursing mother chimp and grab her baby, kill it and share the meat with the others (except Mom...guess that's a plus).

Female lions avoid mating when they have young cubs, so when a male lion wants to get his freak on, he'll walk over and kill the cubs then get it on with Mom moments later - yeesh O_o

Bottle-nose Dolphin are known to punch the stomachs of porpoise repeatedly until their internal organs bleed out. The attacks are senseless and not for any purpose other than fun.

The common house cat will regularly nab a bird, mouse, rat, gopher, or young rabbit and toss them around for hours as they slowly die, yet not so much as take a nibble. Just toying with them until they are eventually dead and too boring to play with.

I think what makes MAN the most cruel species is we have the sense to KNOW BETTER and BE BETTER, yet we are still (as a whole) a violent and treacherous species of animal.

For several reasons. Some animals are hunted for food, others for sport, and some because they are, frankly, pests.

Whales aren't extinct. However, the reason for the population difference is that Whales take longer to reproudce than Chickens do. Not only that, many Chickens are kept for the sole purpose of producing eggs and since they are a common food source, humans breed them.

It takes a Whale seven months to reproduce and a Chicken two weeks.

In a few ways. There is the Draize test, where they drip product into rabbits' eyes. There is a skin test where they put the product on animals' bare skins. They used to shave rabbits for this, but shaving a rabbit throws uncertainty into the experiment: was the irritation caused by the product or by shaving the rabbit? There are genetically engineered hairless animals they use now for this. There are lethal dose tests but they aren't done except for dyes--nothing else has a track record of killing anyone. None of these tests is necessary anymore because there's a list of ingredients you can use to make safe makeup, and the most important question (whether anyone likes wearing the makeup item) can only be answered by having people wear it.
