An armed rhino poacher in South Africa’s Kruger National Park was trampled to death when a herd of elephants charged as he lined up a shot for the animals’ lucrative horns

Some good news today, thank you.
Fuck China!
Why isn’t it more socially acceptable to discuss why, or more specifically who is causing these horns to be so valuable?
It’s not? Depends on what social group you mean here I guess.
Neat
Love that for him!
Oh no!
Anyway
Elephants are pretty smart, they probably knew exactly what they were doing and why
That’s potentially true. Elephants in highly poached areas know the difference between rangers with guns there to protect them, and guys with guns there to poach.
Elephant “er…here we go again…”
Leopard ateelephant trampled his face.Good
Fortunately nothing of value was lost.
“Now the hunter… Has become hun- dead. Oh, that’s definitely dead…”
ETA:
A Kruger National Park source said: “The two ran in different directions but the one lining up the shot was the slowest to his feet and the elephants went for him first. He was quickly over run and the elephants trampled him into the earth and all that we found was basically a very large blood stain around the clothing he was in.
Rapid-fire comments:
- That’s the most Looney Toons death ever
- I guess the elephants herd some danger
- Imagine making such fucked choices that your family could collect your remains in rags and buckets

Ha-ha!
Love this so much! One fucker less.
