Wouldn't an embargo against nations that de facto support poaching help kill off the demand for contraband items?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) April 14th, 2011

Why are there no embargos on nations that promote or tacitly support poaching of tigers, rhino horns, ivory, etc? If the world community decided to embargo those nations that don’t go all out to stop or penalize those who deal in products made from near extinct animals maybe the appetite for them would cease and the poachers would have few buyers. If you take away the demand would not the supply dry up?
