So, this incredibly depressing story: www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/mozambique/10028738/Last-rhinos-in-Mozambique-killed-by-poachers.htmlHere's the setup: I'm setting up a Safari, catering to people who want to kill other people. I think the draw will be a bit higher, because I think most of our targets will be African (drawing in the racist crowd). We'll go to Mozambique, Kenya, Tanzania, and anywhere else that has a game reserve, and we're going to hunt some fucking poachers. We'll skin them and keep their skulls as trophies, and we'll video the whole thing too. We'll sell their fingerbones on the black market (that's got to be some sort of fucked up aphrodisiac somewhere). No, this won't solve the poaching problem, but fuck it. I hate these people so incredibly much that I would kill all of them and their entire extended families as well. Side project: Make fake rhino horn, powder it with an incredibly painful haemotoxin, and sell that shit. FUCK you assholes who buy it; I want you to drown in your own blood while your family watches. Fuck people.

Countries that can afford it ie South Africa, hire people like me to kill poachers. I know several people that already do it but it's a residential job and I'm married, so not for me unfortunately.

As much as I hate to admit it, anecdotal evidence in my experience shows that only despotism can eradicate guerrilla activities. Iron fist kind of stuff. Even then only after prolonged crushing of those cells.
Not sure the trade off is worth it, but I am enough of a tree hugger to say that in the case of affairs outside of the human realm (i.e. the rest of the natural world) that such should not be tolerated and the first offense met with capital punishment.
The price of course for such products would sky rocket due to the risk involved, making for more organized attempts by those with the wherewithal, and thus harder to police.
So the real answer is education. If their own intelligence is worth more than poaching, then it will decline. It wont stop the activities entirely but it will certainly curtail it significantly enough to make policing it easier. But then again, I feel education is the answer to many problems we face.

Well, yeah, if you want to deal with it rationally and practically instead of going on a hate-filled rampage.
Eventually I think we'll be able to set up No Human zones patrolled by drones. That's what I envision, anyway.

I think a hate filled rampage is necessary just for some good ol' old testament justice. We are the shepherds afterall, and the best shepherds leave shit the fuck alone unless necessary to intervene. In the words of Father McGruder from Dead Alive "Stand back boy, this calls for divine punishment." youtu.be/Zvt1ZM1_5Ao?t=1m39sYeah, he says "intervention" and not "punishment".... sue me for making Peter Jackson cooler. Proper OT etiquette requires derailleur, so a factoid about the dead alive quote: It made a great voice sample in a 30 seconds into a song by a hardcore industrial band named Malformed Earthborn in the mid nineties: youtu.be/-83QuwRey-gGood beats if you need 'a bit of angry' in order to swallow such slaughter of innocents.
