According to wikipedia:
Poaching has traditionally been defined as the illegal
hunting, killing or capturing of wild
animals, usually associated with
land use rights. 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.
So wait- although her killing that elephant is legal, her giving that meat to others to consume is illegal? Or is it ok because she killed it 'legally.'
Also fun-
Emergence of

retrovirus chains:
In Southern Africa
The commercial poaching of
white and
black rhinoceros escalated in
South Africa from 12 rhinos killed in 2004 to 946 rhinos killed in 2013.
[46][47] Rhino horns have increasingly been acquired by
Vietnamese people.

lions,

reedbuck,
bushbuck,
bushpig,
common warthog,
chacma baboon and
greater cane rat are illegally hunted for the
bushmeat trade in
Mozambique.

In October 2013 poachers poisoned more than 300 African elephants in
Hwange National Park in
Zimbabwe. Conservationists have claimed the incident to be the highest massacre of animals in South Africa in 25 years.
[49] African elephants continue to remain a high target for poachers and some researchers have estimated that African elephants may be extinct in 25–50 years in the wild.
[50] Estimates of over 25,000 to 35,000 African elephants were killed for their tusks in 2012.
But yeah. I'll let her continue to justify it to herself.
