Poaching

Poaching is the term given by crime investigators to gruesome murders of Faunus, in which the victim also has had their features removed (I.E., the cutting off of horns, tails, ears, etc). This was coined from the same term in which hunters illegally killed animals, usually taking parts for trophies. The parts removed from their victims usually go for high prices on the black market from collectors. The more rare and intact a part is, the higher the price. Those convicted of the crime usually are sentenced to a lengthy prison sentence, which varies depending on which kindgom's jurisdiction the crime occurred in.

For decades, peaceful civil rights groups and even the White Fang have combated the greatest instigators of this crime in their own ways, from working with the authorities to track down poachers to taking matters into their own hands and ambushing deals between poachers and their buyers. Although it is an uncommon crime, not much progress has been made to put an end to it
