For three reasons ....
1 - Bushmeat ... poachers can sell the meat and make more than the average income in the region.
2 - Trophies ... some local markets actually sell hands, skulls, etc. as trophies to tourists.
3 - Private Zoos ... in order to capture a baby, the males and females in the local group are poached to separate the infant.
All of which are DISGUSTING.
