What if we shoot the wealthy people buying the horns instead? Wouldn't that be better? I think so.

It's like fighting drugs by arresting the last guy in the chain selling the stuff in the street.

But it's always easier to blame and punish the poor guy at the end of the food chain.

    You are using 2 different analogies that contradict each other. The poachers are cultivating a product, similar to poppy and coca plants, not the street dealers, and the wealthy are the buyers / "users".
