Good Morning Mr. Tobias
I am working with the investigation unit on this request. Unfortunately, our system does not track photos for poaching. We would have to physically, look at each investigation to determine. I was informed, if you know of a specific investigation, then this could be done.
If you can provide, any information you may have you think poaching wildlife happened.
Thanks Always,
