Poaching in the 17th century was particularly problematic due to the increasing demand for game and other wildlife, driven by the growing population and the rise of the wealthy elite who sought to maintain private hunting grounds. This illegal hunting often led to significant declines in wildlife populations, disrupting ecosystems and local economies reliant on sustainable resources. Additionally, harsh laws and punishments against poachers reflected the social tensions between landowners and the lower classes, further exacerbating the issue. Overall, poaching represented both a struggle for survival among the poor and an affront to the privileges of the aristocracy.
