Your right there's nothing that's gonna stop poachers completely....short of the firing squad...and even then it probably wouldn't stop them...but if we can make it easier for law enforcement to differentiate between the legitimate hooper/diver and the poacher, it might be worth it to punch a little hole in the tail. The poachers might not get caught the first time or the second time or the tenth time but eventually they will get caught, and that's the point.
