Hwange - An elephant poacher has been shot dead in a contact with game scouts in Zimbabwe’s Hwange National Park, a conservation group says.

The scouts tracked a group of four poachers after shots were heard early on Thursday near Hwange’s Main Camp and an elephant bull carcass minus its tusks was discovered, said the Bhejane Trust.

Later they discovered "the poachers removing ivory from (a second) elephant carcass, and at a distance of 70 metres, they opened up”, the group said in a statement.

The one poacher was shot dead and another seriously injured. The wounded poacher and his two accomplices escaped.

1. Pity they didn't take out all of them.

[MoonRiver]

2. They're on the run and one is wounded.

Hopefully they will be caught and dealt with. BASTARDS!

3. That ups the price of ivory.

Maybe the poachers will rethink whether it is really worth it.

4. The hunt is on!

If only. Elephants are awesome animals. Don Jr. is a despicable curr!

12. Just curious if you support elephant murderers. You post seems to imply that.

But please correct me if I am wrong.

13. 111 posts in 6 years' time, and this is one of them.

Y A W N indeed.

[MoonRiver]

a sock puppet would post...

27. What's wrong with you?

[Duppers]

28. You do not care that elephants are being killed

right and left??!!! They are very intelligent, sensitive animals unlike insensitive humans.

41. Elephants are indeed a very smart animal. I don't see why people need to hunt them.

To me it is like hunting an ape or a dolphin.

16. Is it wrong that I'm smiling?

I think poaching of precious endangered species should be a death-penalty offense.

[MoonRiver]

22. 100% agree

[Starry Messenger]

17. Sounds like good news to me.

[catbyte]

18. Good. I hope they take out the rest of them.

19. Rough Justice and Well Deserved

...this sorry excuse for a human being can never take another elephant life again.

[trof]

20. Aw hell. I thought this was about Don Jr.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

21. At first I was gonna cry---then I looked closer. YAY!

The only good poacher is a dead poacher. 👍🏾

Thank you Hwange Park Game Wardens!! 👏🏾❤️👏🏾

Sure hope the other three die.

[MoonRiver]

23. My husband said the wardens should have had machine guns.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

25. I would support that.

Whatever it takes to stop poachers. I feel zero sympathy for them.

[MagickMuffin]

24. So, this happened back in January of this year?

Still good news to say the least!

[marybourg]

26. My first thought is that I'm disappointed

this happens so rarely that it makes the news. It should be happening so often that it's a
Y A W N (to steal a word from a post above).

[Luciferous]

29. Good! Too bad they didn't take them all out.

[lib-ruhl]

30. Hunting for sport, trophy's or poaching is horrible!

These magnificent animals are defenseless against bullets. They often are wounded and die a slow, painful death. How people can take down these beautiful creatures is heartbreaking to say the least.

31. Now he knew what it was like to be hunted.

Nice shot and good riddance!

32. We want Iggo!! We want Iggo!! (eom)

33. Actually, poacher testicles are a well known cancer cure

34. !

36. Why don't we get all the hunters

who love guns and shooting things to hunt poachers. Make it legal and pay a bounty. Gotta be better than shooting squirrels and rabbits.

Think about it. You could form hunting expeditions that the hunters would pay for. They could bait watering holes and bring home trophies. They might even get Uday.

39. karma!

[niyad]

40. too bad they didn't get all four.
