Animal Crackers Kill Rhino

[Kirk Freeman]

No, not INGO's rhino, a real rhino.

While demonstrating "conservation efforts", the conservationists kill a rhino.

Oh, irony, how I love you.

The line that wins the Internet:

"It's sad for us; it's the loss of another animal," Hern said. "It's a death that I still chalk up to poaching."

Right, you killed it, but it is someone else's fault. Outstanding legal defense, sir.

My question is what do they do with the horns that they remove from the rhino's every couple of months. To me I think that after a couple years you would have a lot of rhino horn just laying around. I would like to see the paper work and storage location of these rhino horns just to be sure they are not selling them as well. If they have a tracking device on the rhinos and are tranquilizing them every few months just to cut off their horns and sell them then I believe they need to go to jail for a long time too, just as the poachers. I understand this is a lot of speculation, however I would still like to see the documentation and that big pile of rhino horns that they have just laying around

So, were you REALLY in Texas last week, or were you off murdering Rhino with crackers?

It would make more sense to me if the poachers would do the same thing the activists do, sedate them, and cut the horn off. That way they'll have a continuos supply, instead of killing them to extinction.

Poachers aren't conservationists. They don't care about the future, almost by definition. They only care about getting paid and getting paid now.

I understand, just ridiculous to me the complete lack of forethought some people display.

Say what you want about idiot tree huggers, but poaching is a HUGE problem in SA.

I dont care about the rhinos, its a problem when they want to shoot YOU when you happen upon em.

 

[Yeah]

Have you often faced threats from them?

From poachers? Just once. .243s over my head. First time I was shot at, I looked up thinking it was a bottle rocket (like a damn fool kid). Lesson learned: stay off ridgelines!

From rhino? No, not really. I mean the biggest threat is that he may walk across the street and not leave my office.

How did they get the rhino to eat the sedative laced animal crackers? Or did the rhino choke on them while sedated?

I'm so confused.

 

[MrYesterday]

They're calling the animal rights activists "animal crackers"

 

[hooky]

So the rhino choked on an animal rights activist? Were they trying get a culture from it's throat?

 

[MrYesterday]

I see what you did there... stupid me for feeding a troll

 

[hooky]

I prefer the term smart ***.

Thank you my friend. Your post caused me to open the link.
Double WOWWOW on Kate Upton.

Double WOWWOW on Kate Upton

1. This is why we can't have nice things.

2. You are looking at Kate Upton when there are photos of Cyntia Decker next to her? What's wrong with you?

I clicked on the link for Kate Upton.

Oh yeah, wasn't there something about a Rhino there?
