Poaching in South Africa

Many of the poachings occur in South Africa due to its supply of rhinos. South Africa is full of game reserves that have rhinos and other various different types of animals. In South Africa, any type of poaching is illegal, so poachers either pose as guests to be able to get closer to any animals or they cause disturbances in a area, thus driving the animal out of South Africa's borders in countries where poaching is legal, and kill them there. However, in South Africa, if someone is caught attempting to poach a rhino or has killed a rhino, they are arrested and sentenced to a 40-45 years time in jail. Most of the poachings in that area happen in Kruger National Park because it is at the border of South Africa and Mozambique where poachers usually drive the animals towards. Also, Kruger National Park has no fences so it is relatively easy to drive the rhino into a different country. As well as all that, Kruger has the most rhinos in all of South Africa, so this place is ideal for poachers.
