What's your dream job, Sup Forums?
And nothing of value was lost.
Fug, forgot link:

Also, I bet libshits are creaming themselves over this. Killing poachers is right imo, but you know their own poisonous brand of justice they apply to all hunters.
wtf i like poo in loos now, ruthless!
Poacher hunting in Africa would be best. But who wants to go to Africa?
The Chinese, where they can conviently poachers all the raw rhino horn to make some superstitious old guys dick hard by snorting it.
Fuck China and traditional medicine.
>their own poisonous brand of justice they apply to all hunters.
That really drives me up the fucking wall. Hunting is by far the most ethical way of harvesting meat. Poachers can die in a hail of gunfire, though.
That seems like a cool job, albeit dangerous.
Look the other way goyim, we don't want you to think you could apply this method to defend yourself and your belongings.
This is awesome. Can we put these guys in charge of the endangered tigers, elephants and other big cats too?? I'd kill for the cheetahs and enjoy every moment of it.
You mean like how the head of INTERPOL says that an armed populace is the best defense against terror attacks?

If you want to be a poach hunter, just go to the range and practice everyday and get some faggot to video record you and post it on YouTube.
Then act like you're some tier 1 guy who eats 50 men for breakfast but in reality you're just a faggot tier 1 guy who shoots paper and eats OUT 50 guys a day. Then you will get contacted to take part in this.
Not even lying. Like every faggot youtuber who is a gun fag got contacted to hunt poachers and two of those fags actually did it.
wtf i like poo in loos now
Literally jealous that i do not have this job.
Rhinos are awesome creatures and shooting dead poachers would make me erect 24/7
>thinks it's wrong to to eat out 50 guys a day
^fag
You know what I should do is go to China and sell crushed up Viagras as powdered rhino horn.
Time for a bit of history, especially on these operations.
Zimbabwe escaped initial poaching surge of the 1970s and early 1980s which saw black rhinos reduced from roughly 65 000 in the late 1960's to just 15 000 in 1980. Ironically the Rhodesian Bush war in the 1970s insulated the country's rhinos from the carnage elsewhere on the continent. That was a brief respite.
To Zimbabwe's north, across the Zambezi River, lies Zambia. In 1981, its national parks, particularly those in the Luanga Valley, had an estimated 3000 black rhino. Six years later, there were fewer than 100. Zambia's economy had historically been based on copper, but when copper prices plummeted in the 1970s, so did its economy. By the 1980s the country was destitute, its currency almost worthless. Poaching surged, and one by one Zambia;s wildlife sanctuaries were decimated.
By 1983, Zambian poachers were venturing across the river into Zimbabwe's northernmost parks. Fishermen and tourists began ro report hearing unexplained volley of shots. In 1984, twelve carcasses were found. In 1985, it was sixty-eight; in 1986, 146; in 1987, 170. In response, Zimbabwe's then prime minister, Robert Mugabe, approved a controversial 'shoot-on-sight' policy against poachers, known as Operation Stronghold.

If only we can do the same thing here to feminists.
We do the same here.
Shoot to kill when it comes to poachers.
The game rangers have more rights than the police.
Its because allot of the poachers are ex rebels from Mozambique who have AK-47's.
In the late nineties the Mozambican government gave our government permission to enter Mozambique with military and wipe out entire compounds of these ex rebels turned poachers and criminals.
They would run up at dawn when they are still sleeping and just spray the compounds down with bullets.
When are we going to just start outright sinking whaling ships
As a person with a layman's interest in biology and biodiversity this makes me so happy.
These animals are way more valuable lifeforms than the plentiful nigger poacher ever will be.
Yeah but...
>no loo 4 u
Are you black?
The man in charge was Glenn Tatham, the newly appointed chief warden of Zimparks. "Desperate situations require desperate measures", he told a reported from Sports Illustrated. "We knew we had to take the guys on and fight fire with fire. Our objective is to save animals; it's not to kill people. But cannot afford the possible loss of life among our men by letting them walk into gangs of armed criminals without having the option of shooting first."
By 1986, the number of incursions by armed poachers had risen to 150 a year. There were frantic efforts to move black rhinos out of the lower Zambezi Valley, the area closest to the border. Over the course of the next three years, 170 would be trans-located to the relative safety of private lands in central and Southern Zimbabwe.
In the Zambezi Valley, dozens of poachers were being killed. "The poachers were coming across the river in dugouts. A lot of [them] had AK-47s/ The fire-fights were usually over quickly. If you didn't get them down in the first couple of seconds, they were gone" -Blondie Leathen, a former veteran of the Bush War who fought with the Rhodesian Light Infantry, then at the time a ranger at Zimparks.
"It got really ugly. We had carte blanche and we hammered them, but it didn't help of course. More guys kept coming. We had one period where we killed ten guys in fourteen days. And then it went quiet. For three weeks there wasn't a single incursion. But after three weeks, they came back with a vengeance. It turned out, from our informant, that these okes had gone back to the middleman and said: 'It's dangerous over there. We're not going back." The middleman then simply upped the price per kilogram from $300 to $800. Now they had three times the number of guys prepared to com in and risk it"

Go on...
Zambia's capital, Lusaka, was a key hub in the international rhino horn and ivory trade. The police were easily corrupted and turned a blind eye to the traders. Leathem and his men ran their own groups of informants, but were careful not to pay them in cash and risk violating currency regulations. The Zambians were so poor that the informers routinely did their work for a few cigarettes, cooking oil, maize, caked of soap and cheap digital watches.
Norman English was a senior ranger at the time. 'We got sorted properly there. I remember one day when I had six gangs in my area with an average of four to six guys in a gang. When you have fourteen scouts to take them on, you're not going to win. We lost 104 rhino in thee years.'
As the killing in Zambezi Valley mounted, so did criticism of the operation, both within the Zimbabwean government and from human rights organizations abroad. Relations between Zimbabwean police, Central Intelligence organization operatives and the Zimpark ranger grew increasingly strained.
"It was a helluva thing being a white guy in charge of anti-poaching operations where you were shooting black ouens,' Leathem says. 'By the end of 1987, I had been locked up on three occasions by police. It was getting beyond a joke.; He was arrested for murder after a suspected poacher - the son of a senior Zambian police official - drowned in the Zambezi River. Later, Leathem was accused of being a South African spy. Glen Tatham was also arrested and accused of murdering a poacher on an undercover operation. The cases were all eventually dismissed. Of the shootings, Leathem told a Time magazine reporter at the time: "Trying to arrest a man with an AK-47 is like trying to grab a lion with your bare hands."

happens here as well. problem is actually catching the poachers.
By the end of the war in the Zambezi Valley in 1993, more than 170 poachers were dead. At least four Zimbabwe park rangers had lost their lives. And more than a thousand rhinos had been killed for their horns. The killing stopped, but only when there were no more rhinos left to kill.
By the mid-1990s, the surviving rhinos in Zimbabwe's parks along the border with Zambia had all been trans-located to the Lowveld. Driven by Raoul Du Toit, a conservationist and rhino specialist, a number of conservancies had been created as safe havens for the animals. Fences between farms were dropped and properties were linked into ever larger conservancies. Without them, Zimbabwe would have no black rhinos today.
Leathem was also reported to have said, "If you want to know rage, you have to see a rhino calf standing next to her decaying mother for three days in 40 degree Celsius heat, trying to suckle.
'Killing poachers doesn't achieve anything,' Leathem says. 'There are many poor guys out there and criminal elements that are prepared to take the risk to make quick bucks. No matter how many of them you shoot or arrest, you'll never top it. The only way is to cull the market. You have got to get the guys at the top."
