Why do people hunt endangered animals when it is illegal?

Answer 1

Hunting animals is not always illegal. There are still areas in the world where people hunt and kill animals for food. In modern America, we have rules to govern hunting (and fishing). Most areas require a hunting permit and regulate the method of hunting, which animals may be hunted and the number of kills permitted to the hunter. Hunters are expected keep the animals for meat consumption.

With an increasing human population, the areas where wild animals are able to live and get food has decreased greatly and that area may not be able to sustain a large population of animals. Animals such a bears may go into populated places looking for food and pose a danger to people. Overpopulation of dear and other animals may result in not be able find enough food. Rather than hurting people or dying of starvation, authorities when necessary allow hunting seasons to cull the animal population so that the rest of the animals may survive.

Out of greed, necessity or for the thrill of it.

In poor countries, some people might see the choices as poach or starve. Illegally caught animals can either be eaten directly, or sold off to buy food.
