I think that canabalism ( hey I never said I could spell) that is the incorrect term here. That's when you eat the flesh of your own species.

Now, as far as poaching is concerned, there is a HUGE difference between killing an animal for only its horn that killing an animal to eat it. Look at the Native Americans that lived on the plains. They deeply respected the buffalo as the giver of their life and actually apologized to the animal for killing it, however, they used all parts of the buffalo....hides for making clothes and their homes, meat for eating (and that includes organ meats also), bone for making weapons and other things....in other words, they used every part of the animal. I am disgusted by how commercial farms treat the animals and how they kill them, but, at least most parts are used, which is a totally different ball game then killing the animal, cutting off its horn and then leaving the rest to rot...the only thing that's good for is the almighty dollar.

I respect vegans and vegetarians and don't bug them about their choice, but I certainly don't want to be looked down upon for making the choice to eat meat. Keep in mind that humans were built to be OMNIVORES, not herbivores or carnivores.
