I remember when the USA banned hunting alligators for their skins. it didn’t stop as the poachers continued, but there was no market for the skins.

When the Alligator population picked back up enough to allow hunting, the game and fish commission demanded that the FRONT FEET of the gators be left on the skins as this undercut those who had killed gators during the ban and froze the skins. Any skin brought in without the front feet was considered a poached skin and confiscated.
