Born Hunter 17,763 Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) The Chinese and Vietnamese etc medicine markets are not the only cause of poaching in Africa. With no outside influence at all the Africans would still flatten everything with no thought of sustainability simply to feed their appetite for bush meat and expansion. Were we any better 1000 years ago? It's one of the Earth's really special ecosystems from it's shear magnitude and concentration of megafauna. Hopefully one day we find a sensible way to conserve it...... Edited July 28, 2016 by Born Hunter 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lloyd90 509 Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Tranqulaise all the rhinos and elephants Surgically remove the tusks and horn if this is possible So that it is pointless shooting them ? Or maybe that's unrealistic and these Majestic Creatures need that Horn or Tusk as a tool ? I know one thing it's a fooking discrace that they are getting slaughtered because some fooking idiot believes it will give them super human powers or a boner King Kong would be proud of. Those poaching them should also be fair game for a Bullet thru the head. They often are fair game, game rangers are often locals trained in military ways out with AK47's on anti poacher patrol!

runem 533 Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 The small time poaching /taking of rhinos and elephants and other game has probably been going on for hundreds of years,however i read an article where over 200 elephants had been killed for their ivory over a couple of weeks period. Now the little guy who lives in a mud hut has a big problem now how is he going to move tones of ivory and find a buyer to sell it to,all this without attracting attention of anti poaching teams who would kill you if they caught you or get jailed for a very long time. Anyway it turns out the fingers were pointed at the government they were the only ones able to sell and ship out of the country such a large amount of ivory worth millions undetected, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TOMO 26,121 Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Exactly runem,,there's obviously corruption from the top,,,the trouble is the bottom rung of the ladder is the poor sap that does the killing,,,above him will be a middle man giving him a weapon and amo,,,,,if the poor sap gets levelled ,,well there's plenty more where he came from... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
