Lions eat 'rhino poachers' on South African game reserve

 

At least two suspected rhino poachers have been mauled to death and eaten by lions on a South African game reserve, officials say.

 

Rangers discovered the remains of two, possibly three, people in a lion enclosure in the Sibuya reserve, near the south-east town of Kenton-on-Sea.

 

A high-powered rifle and an axe were also found. There has been a rise in poaching in Africa in recent years, to feed growing demand for rhino horn in parts of Asia.

Excellent news  

Yep. What goes around, comes around.

Well done, lions. I salute lions' club

Where can I send congratulations to the lions?

One can only hope that some of the tourist 'trophy hunters' were amongst them.

Result!!!!

some days the news is just fantastic, well done guy - power to the lions.

I hope they enjoyed their meal and come back tomorrow for seconds.

they probably have indigestion, if not something worse...

seems they might enjoy black pudding.

Two nil to the lions ?

I hope the Lions are found and checked over to make sure they have no ill affects from their poached meal

 

Finally some good news today.

It's the coicle of life, innit?

I think in some of those countries the authorities just shoot poachers dead anyway ... 

About time we heard some GOOD news on this site.

just reward

The sad thing is that the poachers, who do the actual shooting and killing and put themselves in harm's way, usually get just a few hundred dollars for a rhino horn or elephant tusk, while the kingpins stay out of sight and earn millions with their illegal business. And they will just send in the next crew, and when they are taken prisoner or shot by game wardens (or eaten by lions), there is always a next crew, and a next crew after that, there are lots of poor people out there willing to kill a rhino or elephant for a couple hundred bucks.

Whereas in Thailand if you want a panther dick, do it yourself as any real comeback will be very limited, if at all.
