Lions eat suspected rhino poachers on game reserve
 

Karma comes for some poachers.

At least two suspected rhino poachers were mauled to death by a pride of lions on a South African game reserve, according to a report from the BBC.

Rangers discovered the remains of at least two poachers, who were believed to have snuck on to the protected area, in a lion enclosure on the Sibuya reserve.

Nick Fox, the owner of the reserve, said rangers also found a “high powered rifle with a silencer, an ax, wire cutters and ... food supplies for a number of days,” in a press release shared on Facebook.
Fox said the supplies were “the hallmarks of a gang intent on killing rhino[s] and removing their horns.”

He believed the suspected poachers entered the reserve sometime around late Sunday night.

"They strayed into a pride of lions — it's a big pride so they didn't have too much time," Fox told AFP news agency.

"We're not sure how many there were,” Fox continued. “There's not much left of them.”

Fox said an anti-poaching team arrived on the scene Tuesday and alerted local law enforcement to the remains.

“Clearly, the poachers had walked into a pride of six lions and some, if not all had been killed,” Fox said.

“As it was already dark it was not possible to investigate the area until first light at which time we arranged for our vet to dart the entire pride of lions so that Police forensic teams assisted by our Anti-poaching unit could comb the immediate area for clues,” Fox added.

Fox said it was unclear exactly how many poachers may have been killed.

“At this stage it is not clear exactly how many poachers were killed but the Police forensic team continue to investigate.”

They like their humans poached

If a poacher screams in the bush while being eaten by a lion does it make a sound?

It's the ciiiiiiirrrcle of liiiiiiiiife

I missed that one of them had a rifle. I hope none of the lions were hurt.

True justice. It for some reason reminded me of when I worked with these guys from Kenya. One was arguing with a guy from over here who mentioned that he had a gun in car so that they could settle the discussion that way. The guy just laughed at him. Then told him that he saw one of his friend's mauled to death by a tiger while walking in between villages one day. "You think gun scares me? I saw best friend killed by tiger"

Poachers so no loss.

Perfect

LMAO

Haha.

There are no wild tigers in Kenya

I was about to say the same thing. You gotta admire the guy's ability to bluff, though.

They're dropping like flies.

I see you working. Nicely played.

Yep. Bastards sneak onto a game preserve to take out endangered species?
Bullshit on that.

Must've been someone's pet then

They took pride in their poaching skills

Doesn't matter much in the grand scheme of things. There'll be ten more eager to replace them.

Have to fix the problem at the root- namely Asia.

This makes me happy.

Too much pride can eat a man alive.

I read in another article that the lions cut off the men's opposable thumbs and sold them on the black market to some elephants.

Poachers lives matter.

Lions need to be exterminated so this never happens again.

Is that considered poaching on the part of the lions?

I plan to put a sign up at my house declaring it to be a lion-free zone.

It sounds like a great movie, 3 hunters sneak into the reserve equipped with the latest gear... promptly get eaten by lions

Poetic justice if I've ever heard of it

ROFL

So...would a bunch of lions be cheaper than a wall?

It’s pretty classy of the lions not to take selfies with the dead humans.

Did these guys have those little cups you serve poached rhino in?

Hope those were salvageable

Sounds like suicide to me.

ROFL
