Exclamation Suspected rhino poachers killed by lions!

Karma Baby!

Quote:
At least three suspected rhino poachers have been killed by a pride of lions after they broke into a game reserve in South Africa.

“There is so little left that they don’t know exactly how many people were killed, we suspect three because we found three sets of shoes and three sets of gloves.”

He added: “They came heavily armed with hunting rifles and axes which we have recovered and enough food to last them for several days so we suspect they were after all of our rhinos here. But the lions are our watchers and guardians and they picked the wrong pride and became a meal.”

Was hoping the article was going to say that the poachers were found anally impaled on rhinos horn. But lunch for lions is good.

Guess there is some justice in this world after all.

Doubt if lions care about any criminal justice system. Food is food. As to the rest of us, I guess they may have just gotten lost, didn’t see the signs stating it was an animal preserve and snuck in just to rest a bit before moving on. The guns were probably just for self-protection and the axes were to cut down trees not for horns and tusks. Sometimes guilt is self-evident and sometimes karma is judge and jury.

I believe that a poaching law broken protecting an endangered species is wrong. I believe that any celebration in the death of a human killed by a lion is wrong.

I am saddened by both events.
