Open my garage door, crank up Van Halen's cover of 'Dancing In The Streets' on my car stereo with all the doors and trunk open ... as loud as my system goes ...

And proceed to do exactly what the song says ...

[Blue Owl]

27. I'd be right there with ya Big Lebowski...

[Haggis for Breakfast]

24. Does anyone remember the picture of Jr. holding up the elephant's tail ?

Well, think about the reverse of that for a minute.

Now THAT would be karma complete.

[Blue Owl]

People who hunt rhinos and elephants for sport disgust me.

13. Lion shit. A fitting end for this fucker.

[empedocles]

14. Yes.

15. Karma.

Cool.

[Dem2theMax]

17. Now if only this could happen to every poacher.

Fair is fair.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

34. This.

There’s always more poachers. I hate them all, may they all meet a similar fate—right away!

[packman]

18. Mother Nature she be one bitch

Bravo-

20. She was just giving a little nudge. If she's really mad...

[TNNurse]

23. Just my thought.

[debsy]

22. Elephants are so smart.

I'm sure the elephant who killed the poacher knew what he or she was doing.

Full circle.

[Butterflylady]

26. Live by sword, live by the sword.

So the saying goes.

[iluvtennis]

29. I have no sympathy for the poacher...there is a reason they are called wild animals. He should've

stayed in his lane and let the animals be in peace in their lanes.

[tclambert]

31. This isn't from The Onion?

I can never tell anymore.

[RandySF]

32. That sounds too good to be true

More likely the poacher was hunted down and shot (not that I care).

[Uncle Joe]

33. That's not as bad as what happened to Gerald Ford

Thanks for the thread Eugene.

[ProudLib72]

35. So what do they send the family for remains?

Do they follow the lions around for a couple of days and send back bags of poop? "Here's your _______ . He was a real piece of shit."

[shanny]

36. Sweet.

[Miles Archer]

37. His skull, and his pants

If he had been able to gaze into a crystal ball and see his skull and pants, all that was left, would that have dissuaded him from the life of a poacher?

The tragedy here is sheer stupidity, not the manner in which the animals responded.

Stupid, stupid, stupid.
