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.” http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefi...ter-reportedly |

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

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

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. |

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.

Lions need to be exterminated so this never happens again.

Is that considered poaching on the part of the lions?
