I think, deforestation is the bigger problem here.
Taking away the breeding grounds of tigers, elephants, rhinos, impalas, beers, wild-dogs... and so on, has pushed many species to the brink of extinction. The Govts. try to divert public attention from this land usurping programme and direct it to smaller problems like hunting and poaching. Although poaching and senseless hunting for "SPORT" has lead to the extinction of many species of animals. Lets take the Tasmanian tigers (totally extinct), snow leopards(nearly extinct), Royal Bengal Tigers (very few living), Lions of Gujarat, W. African Black Rhino(very few left)... so on. Killing for manly sport has totally wiped out those fabulous Tasmanian tigers from the face of this planet. How sporting is that? You may find a few of their skins and stuffed bodies in private collection of hunters and museums, but not a single one alive. Sadly all the images below belong to species that are either extinct or very nearly so. The African Wild dogs (they look like hyenas), the Australian Dingos(another wild dog), the snow leopard (white leopard), the famous Tasmanian tigers (those famished looking striped wolfish animals! Pity! ), Dodo(Birds that lived in Mauritius in the 1650s, people hunted every single one, eggs and all!).
