Would you describe this as Poaching:
- Finding a small zoo
- Deliberately bankrupting them
- Buying their animals cheap and slaughtering them
In my mind Poaching equates to using illegal or unethical means to hunt animals. Bankrupting a zoo to rid the animals of their protection feels like that to me.
