An armed rhino poacher in South Africa’s Kruger National Park was trampled to death when a herd of elephants charged as he lined up a shot for the animals’ lucrative horns
Elephants are so smart man, they understand the problem for sure
CW: gore details
He was quickly over run 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.
They turned this man into pudding lol.
They’re going to have to glue you back together IN HELL!
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Skill issue. How do you even lose a game of Jumanji that badly?
Finally some feel good news today.
While I am always on the endangered animals’ side in these situations from a simple “they were just minding their own business and defended themselves” standpoint, I’ve long been uncomfortable cheering on Africans getting brutally killed. It was gross when Redditors did it and it’s gross seeing it here.
Why does poaching occur? It occurs because there’s an international market that drives the demand.
Why do people kill the animals to fulfill that demand instead of getting a real job? Extreme poverty caused by centuries of brutal extractive colonialism.
Why are the animals endangered enough that every death from poaching threatens the species with extinction? Colonialism, capitalism, climate apocalypse.
I crab rave when settlers are killed on hunting safaris.
I was wondering if someone was going to say this, because I apply the fable of the Hound and the Hare to scenarios like this.
“I ran merely for my supper, he ran for his life.”
Love to see it, folks

Comrade Elephant! We salute you!
Get elephanted on
This deserves more of a response than I am able to offer now but look up the history of Kruger National Park (and who it is named after!) and the reasons why people near this fortress park might be driven to poaching.
Then look up the way that elephants (who have only appeared in Kruger National Park within the last century) absolutely wreak havoc on the ecosystems they’re in. But hey, a broke racialized South African is dead, let’s celebrate!
Unlimited tramplings upon poachers
Also this reminds me of when a millionaire “hunter” got compromised to a permanent end by the buffalo he was trying to kill and The Guardian tried framing it as an “unprovoked attack” lmfao
