This is good news, lets hope Tanzania can keep up the security in the long term.
The Rhino is my spirit animal, it said so in my last fortune cookie.
I visited some of the ranger stations in the Serengeti, and they are super hardcore about stopping poaching. The rangers carry multiple guns, including AK-47s, and deal with poachers every day who are just as armed.
I was lucky enough to see one of the few remaining black rhinos, as well.
On the down side, we’re going to hear fewer satisfying news stories about poachers being trampled, gored, or otherwise horribly killed and maimed by their prey.
Now, that’s not very nice.
I think “… gentlemen being trampled, gored, or otherwise horribly killed and maimed by their prey.” would be more acceptable.
the administration of resident John Magufuli
@doctorow While Mr Magufuli is indeed a resident of Tanzania, it seems relevant to note that he is also the President of Tanzania.
Would it be unsporting to try to start the rumor that poacher teeth and bones are a crazy-powerful aphrodisiac and general cure for what ails you?
Cue the American dentist hunters.
… and idiot sons.
Trophy-Hunting Dentists for their teeth sounds kinda right…
