Poacher Devoured by Lions
Instant Karma, (IMO)

<snip>
Poaching seems quite a bit less appealing today after an incident that occurred in South Africa. All that remains of one man, who entered Kruger National Park with the intent of illegally hunting animals, is his skull and a few scraps of clothing. After he and two companions snuck into the nature reserve under cover of night to check some illegal traps they had assembled, they were apparently ambushed by a group of angry hippos. The three men all ran in different directions, but only two made it out of the park with their lives. The third, park officials say, was devoured by lions.<\i>

11. Hippos, extremely dangerous animals.
Sadly, somebody likely loved the killed poacher. I'm sorry for their grief caused by the poacher's stupidity and greed.

Edited on Mon Mar-29-10 02:07 PM by hlthe2b
First he MA 9 who bullied the teen into suicide are charged, now this disgusting poacher gets his just rewards... The Michigan Xian Militia terrorists are linked by CNN to the Teabaggers...Freepers are embarrassed by the latest RNC Steele "stripper" excesses and Hannity is under scrutiny for his alleged questionable charity accounting....


Hmmm. What will the afternoon bring?

13. At first I thought it said "PREACHER devoured by lions".
Oh well, when I saw it was a poacher, that's still a good thing.

35. People don't realize how dangerous they are.
Their strength is obvious, but they're also fast and aggresive.
