Someone who hunts or fishes illegally on another person's land without permission, often for endangered animals.
From Old French 'pocher' meaning 'to push into' or 'to pocket.' It originally meant to steal or pocket something illegally.
Modern poaching is a $23 billion per year global industry, and it's driven by demand for exotic animal parts—ironically, the same animals are often disappearing faster than breeding can replace them!
