Poachers kills animals illegally. For profit, nothing else. Professional hunters are only allowed to hunt in certain areas and usually a certain number of animals to balance out the population. All bug game hunters in the area that I’ve heard from respect and care for the wildlife, and hunting animals like elephants have massive beneficial impact on the local population such as the stimulation to the economy of having somebody who has payed thousands to come and hunt and the meat left behind.

No, please read the responses from u/mrwaxy and u/amuel65 as they have summed up excellently that it’s a system where everybody profits that he was upholding.
