Wow. It's still going on today...and they're not European, Asian, or Hispanic.

absolutely nowhere near what europeans have done to the wildlife in those parts.

Bad things are happening right now. Blaming it in on ghosts won't combat or lessen the current cruelty.

Most illegal ivory is bound for Asia (china), so if you're looking for a bad guy in all this awfulness start there.

Same with rhino horns. I'm just suggesting not to dismiss or minimize who's currently doing the actual killing.

of course they are. but still. it was wholesale fucking slaughter back then. at least some countries, organisations are at least trying to combat poaching.
the sad thing is. the blackies get paid fucking peanuts for the ivory or rhino horns they sell on. the middle men and chinese herbalist are the one raking it in
-
It's really tragic :(
Poachers nabbed 448 rhinos last year, and in the first three months of this year the toll here stood at 109 — in other words, a kill-rate of more than one a day. Rhinos will be wiped out from South Africa's wildlife parks by 2015 if poaching continues at its current rate...

Agreed my brown friend. The real money for our brothers in africa, is in tourism.

I remember this
It was a bunch of German tourists and that was a rented car

This very subject was on Sky news this morning and most of it is used to make ivory chop sticks.

Use wood chopsticks! Fucking assholes

If there is one good goddamn saving grace if all of US foreign policy it's AFRICOMM!!!! Let's fire the bitch up and get on the road to taking over that savage fucking continent. LOL.

The tusks are sold in the Middle East and Asian
in National Geographic they have story about Rhino horns. They are sold in Asian---many Adian countries believe that ground Rhino horns can cure many maladies, including cancer. Rhino horns are made out of keratin, same thing as your fingernails...you could ground up fingernail clippings, and sell it as Rhino horn and nbody would know...
The Vietnamese shot their last Rhino, so now they buy African Rhino horn...
I swear, somebody should cut hands off of people who use these "cures", and sell their hands, I wonder how they'd feel about that.

Thanks. I understand that there are larger forces at work. I'm just questioning why some people absolve the people who actually do the killing, as if they're mentally inferior(dont understand what they're actually doing) or that they're child-like people who aren't culpable.

I'd flip over that pos volkswagen too if I could.

I think they should be shot as well.
What one poacher-hunter is doing is recruiting from the very villages where the poachers come from, before they become poachers. And show them how to protect the animlas and hunt poachers.
The problem with the Elephant's tusks is that it has a nerve, so if you cut out the tusk or hack it out, the elephant gets an infection and many times dies.
Rhino horns, one can saw it off, and it will grow back, but poachers hack it off.
The main thing is stopping the demand for it, but a lot of these Asian countries have a fuck you atitude to nature. Every damn thing is "good for libido". They put holes in captive black bears and drain out bile.
In China, the South Chinese tiger is on the verge of extinction---this tiger is thought to be the root tiger for Tiger subspecies. Well, it is protected and resides in a reserve. In this reserve is a restaurant. And guess what they serve? Tiger penis...the evil fuckers serve tiger penis! These animals are almost extinct, but you will kill them, just to serve some dish that is "suppose to help the libido"?
Just like those stupid Tanzanian witch doctors that pay people to kill albinos...for their body parts. Killing people for their bodyparts---like an Albino's leg bone is supposed to cure diff maladies. WTF, it's just effing sickening.

China is colonizing Africa at a breakneck rate and at the same time the number of endangered species being poached skyrockets.
who would have thought?
China will have killed everything that moves and taken most of the resources out of the continent in the next couple of decades while the US sits there with our thumbs up our asses because our public doesn't understand foreign policy is all about resource acquisition, not feeding an army of starving breeding-machines

At the turn of the 20th century, a prominent man said that China would be Africa's Master...
China has very little in resources and they have to feed "the need" of over a billion people...and trying to move almost 1 billion in the middle class takes a lot of resources. And they use this "trust us, we're not white" schtick...

Why isn't obama on that? lol

Why isn't obama on that? lol
he is, but we have to pretend to be nice and act like our policy towards Africa is all about feeding fly-covered children and encouraging AIDS ridden rapists to have more kids. That gives the average American idiot the warm fuzzies but our 'aid' and 'development' policies are really inefficient and the UN steals a lot of the money that our corporations should be stealing from the Africans. 'we' get fuck all.
china doesn't fuck around, they give the local dictators a gold plated Bentley each and a shipping crate of AK47's to kill any protestors... and in exchange they get all the resources super cheap.

And what is the U.S. exactly doing in Iraq & Afghanistan if not for the oil -- under the guise of fighting terrorism? ???
And why peddle democracy to rich oil nations? Libya? Syria? Egypt? :o
If the Americans are not working on "resource acquisition" by injuring, raping, sodomizing millions of Muslim men, women, and children, then nobody knows what they are doing.
"Public" understands alright, but they are either too stupid or don't care. They are being led like sheep since the Bush administration.

Iraqi oil going to the Chinese. Afghanistani rare earth minerals going to China, see a trend?
The US blunders it's way...furthermore, the Iraqi deal was not for oil, but was wrapped up as "Daddy didn't finish the job".

Thats a bull - they are for most of the year loners until its breeding time.
I've seen plenty when I was in Africa and they are not getting rushed for nothing.
