Is it time for a war on poaching? When Hillary Clinton unveiled an $80 million plan last week to combat elephant poaching in Africa, she highlighted a new and worrying trend: money from wildlife crime may be helping to fund terrorist groups. These include the al-Shabaab group that attacked the Westgate shopping mall in Kenya two weeks ago.

I applaud Hillary but I also think animals of these type should be put on endangered species lists.A penalty for hunting,buying or selling them anywhere in the world should be enacted.

If the animal in any way can be used for exploitation that should classify it as in endangered imo.
