Oh yeah definitely, I'm just saying that even though dude(s) is/are going way hardcore and doing illegal stuff for his interests, it at least abuts against hobbyism because hobbyists would be the ones eventually purchasing them.

This is why we have CITES and total trade bans against things like ivory.

Doesn't matter if the elephant died of natural causes and the herd moved on before the ivory was collected, sale of any ivory encourages poaching.
