It brought me immense pleasure to tell you about the apprehension of the first two fugitives from Interpol’s Most Wanted Environmental List which first launched in October 2014.

Similar arrests have taken place since, including the arrest of Nepal’s top wildlife criminal Rajkumar Praja who was caught in Malaysia. He’s the ringleader of a rhino poaching network in Nepal and was the subject of a global INTERPOL environmental fugitive operation. Information exchanged between the INTERPOL National Central Bureaus in Nepal and Malaysia led to his arrest by the Royal Malaysian Police in January 2015, and now Praja is due to serve a 15-year sentence for rhino poaching and trading internationally in rhino horns.

Continuing with the good news for those who appreciate justice for wildlife criminals, another rhino poacher has been nabbed, and this time authorities apprehended the criminal before the crime was committed.

South African National Parks announced earlier this week that Mozambican National Elliot Manzini was sentenced to seven and a half years in prison for illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition with the intention to kill rhino, and illegally entering Kruger National Park (KNP) with the intention to poach rhino.

1. Poachers are fucking scum.

[stevenleser]

2. I think that is unfair to scum

3. As long as there is a demand there will be a supply

Yes, poaching is a problem but until countries like China ban rhino horns from being imported and used in folk medicine, rhinos will continue to be killed.

4. As of April, 2014, China has had a ban on consumption, purchasing or selling of rhinoceros horns...

8. Thanks for posting Steve,

I really need these feel good stories, to balance out all the ugliness in the world I read about here.

9. ARREST??? just cull their greedy ass.

[calimary]

10. EXCELLENT!!!!

I LOVE stories like these!

[Number9Dream]

11. Thanks, Steve - Would like to see even stiffer sentence

Would like to see even stiffer sentences unless they inform on poaching organizations.

12. Rhino poacher penis, cut off and ground up, is a much better aphrodisiac than powdered

rhino horn.

That gets around, poaching will decline.

[irisblue]

14. Suprisingly, I'm okay with this idea; 2-why not spray paint the horn lemon yellow?

gotta be a food coloring to make the horn icky ( and ways to keep the rangers safe while they do that)

[jtuck004]

15. I thought about treating the horn, but it might impact Rhino behavior or health. I would

rather impact poacher behavior and health.

I'm thinking a couple of international news stories about rhino horn that was found abandoned with most of the poacher's body, except for the penis, because it is becoming known that the penis of the big brave poacher is much more arousing than mere rhino.

We might actually save the last of them. I think we are down to one white rhino now. And the poachers have given up their humanity, as far as I am concerned. Like any bully.
