More proof that these government bureaucrats do not understand basic economics. They have just made poaching more lucrative. Why has the government, from time to time, paid farmers to destroy crops? To send a message to them to stop producing? Of course not, it is meant to drive the price up.

The govt has just made a VERY high priced commodity into a PRICELESS commodity and given the poachers every incentive to increase their kill rate enormously higher.

Friggin morons!
