Yeah, but pretty much anything to do with animals is like this. And people will just keep doing it until the penalties get stiffer. It's the same thing with drugs in sports. As long as they keep handing out small fines to rich people and short sentences, people will continue to break the law. The rewards outweighs the risk.
If these egg-sucking liberals really want to change something to do with guns and hunting, they should make the fines/jail sentences for poaching stiffer.
