"Feel Good" Story of the Day

[WoundedKnee]

[And forgive me if someone beat me to it.]

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

"Rangers discovered human remains around 4:30 p.m. local time on July 3 in the immediate vicinity of the lions’ territory at the Sibuya Game Reserve in Kenton-on-Sea in the Eastern Cape, more than 24 hours after an anti-poaching dog alerted her handler that something was amiss."

Booyah!!!


Now sic those big kittehs on the rest of them motherfuckers.

 

[WoundedKnee]

Indeed!

I love hunting, but I detest poaching to the utmost degree. We have to cull for their health and not massacre on the basis of superstitions about 'our' health.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Right.


Cull poachers 100%.


I wouldn't say that the only good poacher is a dead poacher, but 9 outta 10 are.


And I wouldn't ask any questions if something terminal happened to the 10th one.

 

[WoundedKnee]

However, if things collapse, I'm poaching the deer that our game cam keeps catching eating our berry bushes.

Well.

Isn't that a shame.

 

[WoundedKnee]

A real tragedy.



We should send vets to make sure the lions didn't catch anything communicable...

 

[lovecraft68]

That is some serious and awesome karma right there.

I hate hunters, especially 'big game' hunters. Fucking cowards, they act like its a damn skill and something to brag about that you can shoot something form a hundred yards away.

Quite a fitting end. Well done lions.

I somewhat understand that, but then I remember the recent outrage over the killing of the "endangered black giraffe" by a young American hunter. The problem being that they were not endangered, but part of an expanding population and the trophy in question was past the breeding age, but still killing the young bulls that would replace it.

2000 pounds of meat (I'm assuming it was donated, but even if she took it home to eat it...).

Seriously, anytime you take on big game, you take a chance (the premise of this thread), but when done properly, you do not destroy, but you protect...

Go into the woods with a survival knife and bring back a bear and I'll give credit.

These guys were careless morons, its was a fluke. Normally its not much of a contest with a high powered rifle from a long distance range, then thumping your chest like you did something.

As for if you're hunting to eat, different story, but its still the fact of acting like its a some sort of challenge and donating the meat means this was hunting for fun. If a person thinks killing an animal is fun then I think seeing that person die would be more fun and a favor to society.

But don't mind me I'm an animal lover and a people hater.

Not much of a difference, bozo, except one is legal and the other is not.

Like a porn star versus a hooker, they're both getting fucked.

How is that different from what I do?
One of my favorite dishes is lamb.

Let alone Koreans who beat dogs to a pulp, or Jews and Muslims who beat their animals to tenderise the meat.

Humanity is based on violence.

About time the Lions won something.

A good way to discourage poachers would be to drop them off by helicopter near that pride of lions.

The only problem would be that when the lions hear a helicopter they would come a running!

 

[IG_88]

That is the only difference. Poaching is looked down on from hunters and non hunters alike. For once he's not being a bozo, he's pretty spot on.
We have hunting laws for many reasons. Preventing extinction because we want a powder to make our dicks hard or a trophy for our dens are a couple of those.

 

[DawnODay]

I saw this, too!

I was going to post it under the title "Instant Karma."

I love some of the matter-of-fact language in the report:

Rangers discovered human remains around 4:30 p.m. local time on July 3 in the immediate vicinity of the lions’ territory at the Sibuya Game Reserve in Kenton-on-Sea in the Eastern Cape, more than 24 hours after an anti-poaching dog alerted her handler that something was amiss.

The ranger however did not examine the disturbance further because it was not unusual to hear the lions at night.

When members of the anti-poaching unit investigated, they recovered human remains, a high-powered rifle with a silencer, wire cutters, an axe and three pairs of shoes....

Nick Fox, the park’s owner, said....

“The only body part we found was one skull and one bit of pelvis, everything else was completely gone,” he told Newsweek. “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.”​

I guess it's true that "pride cometh before a fall"!

You act as if you've got a stupid, big critter on a flat plain who has no where to hide and no where to run and who is completely oblivious to your presence...

You might want to watch some of those shows about people who live off the land and have to actually hunt to survive. It ain't all Duck Dynasty you know.

That might be the 'lion' of the day...

 

[WoundedKnee]

It doesn't matter if it is for fun when it is for the health of the herd and the species.


In too many places we have displaced the apex predators and trophy hunters step in to fill the gap. And despite the contentions made, it still takes a certain level of skill to make the kill.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Actually, they sound rather inept because if they had a rifle, they didn't get an attacking lion.
