Poaching has traditionally been defined as the illegal hunting, killing, or capturing of wild animals, usually associated with land use rights.
Until the 20th century, most poaching was performed by impoverished peasants for subsistence purposes, supplementing meager diets. By contrast, stealing domestic animals (as in cattle raiding, for example) classifies as theft, not as poaching.
Since the 1980s, the term "poaching" has also referred to the illegal harvesting of wild plant species.
In 1998 environmental scientists from the University of Massachusetts Amherst proposed the concept of poaching as an environmental crime, defining any activity as illegal that contravenes the laws and regulations established to protect renewable natural resources including the illegal harvest of wildlife with the intention of possessing, transporting, consuming or selling it and using its body parts. They considered poaching as one of the most serious threats to the survival of plant and animal populations.Wildlife biologists and conservationists consider poaching to have a detrimental effect on biodiversity both within and outside protected areas as wildlife populations decline, species are depleted locally, and the functionality of ecosystems is disturbed.
Bitching 'bout the things we've seen
Bitching 'bout the things we've seen
Bitching 'bout the loves we've had
My oh my, it wasn't so bad
When we had that to loosen our minds
Hey, little baby, in the front row be kind
(Bar bitching)
Telling you the gospel truth
(Bar bitching)
Why don't you all go get screwed?
(Bar bitching)
Why don't you tell me something new?
(Bar bitching)
Bar bitching
Bitching 'bout the Windsor C
Bitching 'bout the Western Sea
Why can't you all be like a Grainger man
Or even a Pheland man?
I'll tell you what we'll meet in Amsterdam
And then you'll see what should be really can
(Bar bitching)
Telling you the gospel truth
(Bar bitching)
Why don't you all go get screwed?
(Bar bitching)
Why don't you tell me something new?
(Bar bitching)
Bar bitching, that's what I'm talking about
Got anything to say?
No, well, shut up
I really don't know what to say
It's gonna happen to us all one day
And when it does you can have me too
But until then I really don't know what to do
I'm just gonna keep
(Bar bitching)
Telling you the gospel truth
(Bar bitching)
Why don't you all go get screwed?
(Bar bitching)
Why don't you tell me something new?
There's a place with a lot of eyes
Strange smoke perfume around the peacock guys
And the girls, they move their heat
To the impulsive compulsive beat
But that's another place another time
Maybe we'll meet there in quite a short while
(Bar bitching)
Telling you the gospel truth
(Bar bitching)
Why don't you all go get screwed?
(Bar bitching)
Why don't you tell me something new?
