"content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, poaching needs tougher laws. I would say that the death penalty is cruel and, therefore, we should abolish it. However, I would support life imprisonment besides other measures this House deems fit to introduce, so that we can discourage poaching. Poaching affects our tourism sector and hence our national Budget. If our laws are not stiff enough, and poachers know that they can easily get away with the heinous crime of killing elephants, they will carry on with the practice. I also want to say that this is a conspiracy. It is not the poachers alone who are to blame. We should also blame those who buy the wildlife trophies, our police officers manning roadblocks, for sleeping on the job and other Government officials who do not play their rightful roles in deterring poaching. So, poaching is a result of a big syndicate since it is a billion dollar business. But it can be cracked very easily."
