the Hunter became the Hunted

A suspected poacher was mauled to death and eaten by a pack of lions close to the Kruger National Park in South Africa, police said Monday, adding that little was left of the victim's body.

The remains were found at the weekend in the bush at a private game park near Hoedspruit in the northern province of Limpopo, where animals have been poached in increasing numbers over recent years.

"It seems the victim was poaching in the game park when he was attacked and killed by lions. They ate his body, nearly all of it, and just left his head and some remains," Limpopo police spokesman Moatshe Ngoepe told AFP.

A loaded hunting rifle was found near the body on Saturday morning. Police are trying to establish the victim's identity.

Last year, several lions were found poisoned near a farm in the same province with their heads and paws sawn off.

Lion body parts are used in traditional medicine.

Poachers also often target rhinoceroses in South Africa's game parks to feed a booming demand for rhino horn in China, Vietnam and other Asian countries, where it is believed to have medicinal qualities.

Oh yes. I give a lot of fucks. In fact I’m a prostitute of feelings.

I did answer your post earlier in the thread and I asked you a question: what do you do, or what did you do, to ever help animals’ suffering?
Do you still eat meat and wear leather?

If so.  Big fat hypocrite.

Another relevant point :

Animals aren't farmed or hunted specifically to produce leather, or offal, or blood and bone, or gelatine, or "catgut", or cows horn, or horse hair or camel hair...

ALL of these are by-products from the processing of animals for meat, or in the case of those animals grown for wool, or milk, or eggs, their older meat is often used for petfood (and for hamburger mince within the USA as well..).

Not wearing leather, or buying manures and blood&bone for the garden, or even wearing wool, in the name of 'Vegan' ideology, will have bugger all effect on livestock farming.

But it will mean more petrochemical-based plastics polluting our environment..

Notice that I didn't list furs and hides among those by-products...

Does anybody farm the likes of mink and ermine over there ?   I'm not aware of anybody doing so around here..

Mink is imported into Australia from places like Russia and England;  possum fur products from NZ.

Apparently, with cowhides, sheepskin and pigskin, more hides are produced in abattoirs in Oz, Britain, the USA and Canada than are used by local tanneries these days, so that surplus are often being turned into fertiliser or used as landfill..

Hahahahah whatever. You all keep telling yourselves how utterly utterly you adore animals whilst you eat them and wear their skins and kiss your doggies on the mouth.

I may come across as unfeeling because I won’t die for a cat or starve for a dog but at least I’m not a hypocrite.

You know, perhaps if you uttered more than a single sentence this conversation would have been over by now, because dude, it’s so slow I’m almost asleep.

What vegan bullshit?

Please try to include some information and/or explanation in your answer or seriously don’t bother.

Come on now,  eddie...

You have been peddling Vegan propaganda nonsense on here for a good while now,  apparently never bothering to do your homework to check their veracity but only taking it as a given..

Just like those lies you posted about dairy farming last week --  despite being disproven over and over, you just keep on repeating their lies.

You know fuck all about farming and methods in England. So I’ll not even bother talking to you about it.  You keep spouting your lies though and reading your propaganda.

And we shall see who is right. Cos time will tell.

Others might eat meat and wear leather, but object to hunting. Some might not eat meat but think that hunting is OK.
