[QUOTE=Grabigel;23489750]Fucking bullshit.
Do the rangers even do anything?[/QUOTE]
Not much they can do. Rangers have limited resources and powers.
That poor rhino :byodood:
[QUOTE=Sparkwire;23489681]uh, rhino horns are not a necessity.[/QUOTE]
For the poachers it is. Since most poachers live in poverty and they get paid more for it.
I assume South Africa has a well enough funded military that the bulk of the country is probably covered under a RADAR grid.
With that in mind, use that and flag the reserve as a no fly zone below a certain altitude.
I mean come on. If they are using fucking HELICOPTERS to do this, you failing MISERABLY at your job.

They have fucking planes and helicopters, I doubt they're poor.

The organization itself isn't, but the people they employ probably are.
Poor Rhinos :(. They kill them then sell their horn to Asian men (sorry if it's offensive but it's true, deal with it), then they grind it into a dust because they think it increases your manhood. A rhino horn goes for about $5000 on the black market, and the families in some African countries live off of $260 a year, so that's like they are set for a decade.
Also the punishment for poaching there is death, they just shoot you on the spot, I've seen it happen, they got death squads of 4 commando's they send out to hunt you. If you are out there with a gun running from the military they'll execute you no trial no nothing, but then again after killing the animals for their ivory, I think they deserve it.
As for the helicopter, what the fuck?
saw off the poacher's noses, lets see how they like it

I think Ronald Tembo from the lost world fits the definition of a poacher better.

Same for shark fins. They capture sharks, cut their fins off while they're still alive, then simply toss them back to sink and die. They believe because the sharks never get sick with things like cancer that eating their fins gives them the same ability, when in reality it's more likely to make them sick from all the pollutants in the water like mercury.

Shark fining is a sick and disgusting act. I have no respect for someone who fins a shark, and little for those who eat them.

:argh:
Don't you see how these anti-poaching laws are denying these poachers of their right to free enterprise?
Its disgusting how far these people would go to get a lot of money. Breaking the law by infiltrating the reserve just to illegally kill a endangered animal. No sense of humanity in them at all, the only thing they run on is greed.

Sadly it happens world wide on a much more industrious scale. Long lining in the Cocos, Whaling in the southern ocean. All of it is poaching, yet most people just look the other way.
Extincting a whole race for one paycheck
what idiots.
-snip wrong tab
Perhaps the Reserve should invest in one of these.

Hunting =/= poaching. Hunting legal, poaching illegal. The difference is that the other allows for repopulation between hunting, and the other hunts until extinction.
we should make it legal to POACH poachers
[QUOTE=gamefreek76;23488045]Poachers are stupid. If you kill all the animals, then there won't be any more to kill. A good rule of thumb is to kill just enough animals so they won't go extinct, wait for them to repopulate, then kill even more.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, they can bring that up at the next international poacher's committee. :downs:
Poaching is an act of greed. They don't give a shit about the species, if they try to conserve them, some other poacher with even less scruples will take the money right out from under their noses.

Their organs can be used for donations!
That's a real shame. I saw a female white rhino when I was last in the Kruger. It's sad to think that my children never will.
