Rhinoceros horn is one of the most valuable substances on the planet. It usually sells for about twice as much on the black market per ounce as gold or diamonds. That’s because the horn is prized in east Asia as a sign of wealth and used as a traditional medicinal, a detoxifier and as an alleged cancer cure. That makes the horned ungulates prime targets for poachers.
So it was particularly good to hear that other species have their backs. One hapless poacher was lining up a shot in South Africa’s Kruger National Park with a partner in crime when a group of pachyderms stepped in. Literally.
From the Daily Mail . . .
Two men with a high-powered rifle and an axe had crossed into the iconic Kruger National Park in South Africa looking for a potential £10,000 payday with a single shot.
But unknown to them the white rhino herd had been following a water source along with a group of nearby African elephants sheltering from the harsh sun under trees.
As the pair closed in on the rhinos – whose horn per ounce is worth more than gold or cocaine on the black market – the elephants broke cover and charged them.
A Kruger National Park source said: ‘The two ran in different directions but the one lining up the shot was the slowest to his feet and the elephants went for him first.
‘He was quickly overrun and the elephants trampled him into the earth and all that we found was basically a very large blood stain around the clothing he was in.
The second, faster poacher avoided being squashed, but was later arrested.
There are some 1,850 white rhinos in the Kruger National Park which is the same size as Wales and home to the Big Five of elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion and leopard.
Last year, 175 rhinos were shot dead by poachers for their horns which can earn them fortunes and once exported to the Far East can be worth 20 times as much.
Who says all the news is bad these days?
Nice.
I still say we should propagate rumors that the peanut sized testes of wealthy Chinamen are a powerful aphrodisiac.
Get some third world poachers to chase them down.
Alas, the more likely scenario is that we will import all the third world poachers to ransack our fields, forests and coastlines for anything edible.
Yay. Animal justice is brutal. We could learn from them.
Law of the jungle wins in this case.

…and the left wingers keep them indoctrinated later in life with tax payer dollars: UW-Madison Welcomed Students Back to Campus With a Drag Show.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison welcomed students back to school on September 2, but the way they did it was raising more than a few eyebrows. Not in Dane County, of course; that’s the deep-blue county where Madison is located, but outside of that enclave, voters and taxpayers should know exactly what’s going on at the school their hard-earned money supports.

FBI Busts Russian Plot to Carry Out Targeted Killings on US Soil.
”
…
The intelligence services of the Russian Federation are plotting to carry out targeted killings in the U.S. and in European nations supporting Ukraine, federal authorities said Tuesday in announcing they’d thwarted a plot to kill a prominent Russian dissident believed to be living in Washington, D.C.
Five people assumed to be living abroad were charged in the plot, according to an indictment unsealed in Manhattan federal court. It said a network of the Russian intelligence services has paid and tried to pay individuals in the United States and in other countries since 2024 to surveil and then kill Russian dissidents.
The associates recruited by the network also have been solicited to carry out acts of terrorism against civilian and military infrastructure in European countries that are perceived to be aligned with Ukraine, the indictment said.

Left wing violence & crazy: Catholic lone holdout in Lindsay Clancy case is Republican who says Dem jury members targeted him
”
…
Fugitive TV said that in a phone interview with the holdout juror, he revealed that he is a Republican. ‘He’s a Republican. He is a black Republican. He has conservative views. He believes he might be getting targeted because of that, because the media and the reporters, as you could see, they kind of have left views.’

Get cancer and expire, jack-wad. Sooner, not later, faster, not slower…
My life grant you the fate you deserve.
My posts didn’t waste anyone’s time, nothing stopped you from reading the article or commenting on it. You could not spend a few minutes commenting on the article but could spend time stalking my posts and wasting your own time.
Funny I have no problem scrolling past posts I’m not interested in reading. Geoff has issues.
He should just write his own articles. That way we could read his posts all together or skip them entirely. It’s already hard enough to have a conversation with someone when everything you post must be moderated. Sometimes taking hours or days.
Then it gets lost in the seemingly endless .40 posts
My new bestie, meet the elephant! Great article, and great poetic justice, pounded by a pachyderm.
