Poachers running amok as law fails to keep pace

Two unrelated reports in papers today point to continued wildlife poaching and smuggling going on rampantly in India. In one instance a smuggler was caught on the India-Nepal border with Tiger skin and another one caught in Coimbatore trying to sell Tiger Paw. As we can all imagine before selling/smuggling a skin would have gone through various hands before being poached in the wild. The fact that none of those crimes was detecated clearly indicats on going poaching in our wild life sanctuaries and continued trading in tiger parts in large centres like Delhi and Nagpur. Till the government busts these trading rings and takes them on like organised Drug crime just catching a few operatives trying to sell or smuggle the goods will not help.
