some freepers express glee about dead guys because some freepers hate everything/everyone/everyplace.

and those guys talk the most and the loudest.

We’ll agree to disagree.

Would they feel the same about an Idaho rancher that kills wolves or a grizzly, "illegally" that are killing his animals or endangering his family?

Excellent post.

If the Rinos were allowed to be hunted by sport hunters, the poachers could make good pay as guides.

I recall the same poacher-ending story within the last four years.

Although poachers seem to have a relatively steady population.

You don’t understand why poachers hunt rhinos, do you?

Uh...yeah...I do.

Do you think a death is appropriate for this?

Oh.....

The poor elephants.

Having a little elephant love when three guys with guns run in.

That’ll ruin the mood.

If you do know, then you also know your post 15 was a completely false comparison.

Exactly

Many poachers are poor as dirt...some starving....not all....some are also insurgents ...Mozambique insurgents poached in the Wild Geese era like crazy

But look

Freepers cheer the misfortune of anything they don’t like

It’s the worst aspect of this place....honestly

Kids or adventurers die for foolishness or risk respectively and most comments here are heartless and cruel or just nasty mean....like empathy is such a heavy burden

I’ve never liked that about here

Strange too considering how many here are older women....

The large number of cynical single men here saying that I get

But the grandmas....dour is thy name

Are freepers happy?

I don’t know ....they sure love to scold ....I’ve been here twenty years and seen inspiration and things that dismay

I’m here for my friends

#25. Third cartoon - man squashed by an elephant’s foot. The poacher is now an honorary member of the “Rachel Corrie Pancake Club”.
Sometimes animals can fight back. They’re the ones being hunted for just being an animal (legitimate hunting is a different story).

Since you’ve made no effort to demonstrate your knowledge of the actual reason these people poach rhinos I’m dubious that you have a clue. Nonetheless, I’ll be your huckleberry.

Rhinos are poached to feed the demand of ignorant Chinese to create useless herbal medicines. Poachers don’t use the meat of the animal for food, nor are they defending crops or livestock. They simply kill the creature, hack off its horn, and leave the carcass to rot in the sun. They’re engaged in an illegal and immoral activity that unfettered will lead to the extinction of an entire species.

If they are “just trying to feed their families” then the same could be said about mafiosos, drug dealers, and SS camp guards. That excuse justifies any sort of behavior. So I don’t shed a tear when another wild animal ends their thoughtless slaughter. Am I gleeful? Let’s just say I smirk at the instant karma.

I know why rhinos are hunted.

Instead of being unpleasant and insulting each other, why don't we agree to disagree?

For a second there, I thought you said RINOs.

They should be hunted.
