Poachers continue to slaughter Rhinos, Tigers, Gorillas, Elephants, and other endangered species at alarming rates. Most of the time it is to satisfy Asian beliefs that parts of these animals can treat erectile dysfunction or as an aphrodisiac. There is no thought to the damage that is being done to the ecosystem or the fact that some of these animals' population numbers are dangerously low; so low to the point that these animals may not have enough numbers to adequately repopulate their species. The United States should leverage a percentage of their might to declare "war" on these poachers that indiscriminately kill these majestic animals and leverage its military resources to identify, deter, delay, dissuade, deny and if necessary neutralize any threats to these defenseless animals.
