Latchford Locks Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 Mother Nature Fights Back I read this just now on BBC news page and decided to share..... A suspected rhino poacher has been trampled on by an elephant then eaten by a pride of lions in Kruger National Park, South Africa. Accomplice poachers told the victim's family that he had been killed by an elephant on Tuesday. Relatives notified the park ranger. A search party struggled to find the body but eventually found a human skull and a pair of trousers on Thursday. The managing executive of the park extended his condolences to the family. "Entering Kruger National Park illegally and on foot is not wise," he said. "It holds many dangers and this incident is evidence of that." Kruger National Park has an ongoing problem with poaching and there remains a strong demand for rhino horn in Asian countries. On Saturday, Hong Kong airport authorities seized the biggest haul of rhino horn in five years, valued at $2.1m (£1.6m). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 Hope the lions are ok. Food poisoning can be quite debilitating.😿 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
