It is true that laws are already in place, but it's worthless, if you can't strictly impose these laws. Things get better by implementing laws and awareness. Hope for the best:)

That's your opinion. While laws might not feel very good unless they are strictly enforced, I think it would be a lot worse if there was no laws at all. While the chance of getting caught and punished for wildlife crime is very low in some places, it is still there, and it might scare people away from this type of crime.
