    A fitting end for a poacher.
Theyre scum who give honest hunters a bad name.

    Unfortunately this fluke incident, as pleasing as it is to read, won’t do anything to stop poaching. There are organized efforts to prevent poaching, but they involve spending lots of money, money a lot of these countries don’t have.

He was not alone.

    If you think entering Kruger’s park is not wise, you should try entering Freddy Kruger’s house!!

IMO, the legal sale of ivory would be a vast improvement for the elephants.
The photos of the ivory being burned, inflame the price and bring in more poachers.
Yes, there are some areas where they shoot the SOB’s on sight.
But that is slower than the replacement poacher rate.

    Id be agreeable for our military to go to these countries to practice on the poachers. Accomplish more than half the places they are at now.

    Ate by lions? But that’s nothing like the cartoons.
I bet that lion couldn’t even talk.

Kruger?
A Kraut name?
They probably starve the lions a bit to encourage poacher snacking.
