Poachers don’t do what they do because they’re greedy and hate animals, they do it because they’re poor and have often no other choice but to risk their lives to make a living,

Well, they're risking their lives, they're losing them in the gamble. No one owes you winning a gamble.

This is a systematic problem perpetually reinforced by the actual people we should be shooting: the millionaires who hire the poachers

Not saying we don't, I'm all in for shooting a millionaire myself; but that doesn't detract from still needing to kill the poachers: we can't leave the reservoires and wild habitats unguarded merely to kill one or two twitter twats, so the job of millionaire killer we have to give to someone else.
