Poachers don’t have a conscience. These are a same guys who poison waterholes in the dry season.
I’ll assume you haven’t been to Africa before? It’s for the bushmeat trade. It’s commercial poaching. They take meat into town to sell. It would be really bad if organized hunting and anti-poaching wasn’t occurring. Many countries you won’t see an animal until you reach a hunting area. It’s all been poached out. I think it’s a bigger crisis than elephant poaching but doesn’t get nearly the attention except locally.
They actually poison water holes? I guess I am too much of a "nice guy" and naive... I'd have never thought of that. Evil is out there, and these guys are it. I can see some guy killing an animal out of season to feed his family. And I wouldn't blame him for it. But poisoning them? That's just awful.
Yes. It’s sad.
By my faith, I know I must not judge, that is only for Jesus.
Traps and snares are indiscriminate killers. No telling what will get caught in one. Whoever sets one should be strung up in it.
