Poachers Kill Endangered African Animals – This Woman Kills Poachers

Kinessa Johnson is a former Army veteran who spent 4 years of her life in Afghanistan. She just recently made a trip to Africa in order to take on a new mission. Here’s how she described her new endeavor: “We’re going over there to do some anti-poaching, kill some bad guys, and do some good.” Johnson joined Veterans Empowered To Protect African Wildlife (VETPAW) as an anti-poaching advisor. VETPAW is a non-profit organization dedicated to employing US Veterans in order to help preserve and protect African wildlife from illegal poaching and hunting. Joined by a team of veterans, Johnson arrived in Tanzania on March 26th to begin their mission. Immediately upon their arrival, they noticed a decrease in poaching activity. I mean seriously, who would want to get in a fire fight with Johnson and her team of battle tested warriors? Her team will train park rangers and patrol with them to provide support. According to Johnson, the African park rangers are in desperate need of their help. She mentioned, “they lost about 187 guys last year over trying to save rhinos and elephants.” Her team will provide training in marksmanship, counter-intelligence, and field medicine.

When they aren't adding to their tatoos.  My Gawd, that girl gives new meaning to 'poster child'.

Are you sure this isn't an ISIL front?  

AND Biceps, triceps and forearm musculature like that on a woman simply screams HGH and steroids...

AND some serious barbell curls, chinups, dips and pushups, no doubt..

You would have to be careful around this lady.

Pleased the animals are getting some help at last.

good hope she kills the bastards

Shame.

I SAW a newspaper article here a couple of months ago, showing that a small (but significant and growing..) proportion of those wildlife rangers "licensed to kill" poachers in countries such as Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya and South Africa nowadays are women, as well...

But notice where this happens. It is Africa...as they said in Sahara, nobody cares about Africa. There are other kinds of poachers, as well. For example, is anybody 'licensed to kill' stock brokers on Wall Street?

I agree, there should be. It's a much worse crime; yet, Elizabeth Warren pointed out in one Senate hearing that never in the history of the SEC has anyone gone to jail for shenanigans dealing with securities. FCS, we've got people in jail for possessing a single Mj joint. See? No matter how injurious to the public the crime is...the poor go to prison, the rich are sent home.

Against that backdrop, it becomes very easy to understand how they have a license to kill poor black folks in a country in Africa. Happens every day in our South...cop, black man, bang, bang. Certain lives are cheaper, I guess. I repeat, why don't they have something similar for white Wall Street types?

The world’s last male northern white rhinoceros has been put under 24-hour armed guard in a Kenya game conservancy because of fears he could be targeted by poachers.
Sudan and his two female companions at Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya are among just five of the rare sub-species of white rhinos left in the world, and the only ones that live in relative freedom since the other two are kept in zoos.

Absurd reasoning, we are talking about the very existence of certain species being protected from extinction, where you offer an extremely poor deflection onto something inherently different and miles removed.

Quill does have a point, the other big problem is canned hunting which is mainly rich people. Many of the poor poachers are only poaching because of a richer societies desire for illicit goods.

A lot of protection groups point out that if you deal with the poverty in the region (for example by creating a lot of park ranger jobs paid for by western donations) then you also deal with some of the poachers. they are often getting paid bugger all the organised crime gangs that make the profit off the illicit goods, if we can actually give them an income for protecting the animals than many of them will.

Opinion on animal rights is starting to turn in Asia, we can hope for improvement as people are educated in the ramification of buying those illicit animal products .

Jesus why are some of the left so utterly clueless.
Humans are not on the verge of extinction
Plenty of animals hunted are.
No comparison
Trying to argue off how some rich idiotic yanks are like and the part they play is making a small point on the whole issue. Also to use wages people are paid is also a non-argument because the people financing them will always pay higher and thus the rewards are far greater, so you are not going to solve the problems that way, but at the very source itself by countries introducing laws banning them. That is not going to happen anytime soon unless other nations apply pressure to ban all these trades.
It is that simple to cut these problems at the source, but in Asia they are not looking to end this. You only have to see how many Asian nations do not give a fuck about fishing seas to see that.

Umm well you just proved you Don't know shit about conservation.
Those African nations have banned them for 40 years has it solved the problem NO because it is a naive dumb Euro-twat idea. Seriously You Euro Trash need to STFU, we can fix it all by having You thieves RETURN the wealth you stole!!

I Have been a member of HSI and Rainforest rescue for over a decade and have been involved with the purchase of thousands of hectares of old growths forests not only in Australia and South east Asia but south America too.
We have had more success by PAYING people than any of the bullshit tired and failed ideas you put forward. and no the criminal organisation are not paying them more Plus it is a it is harder to recruit people when they are not in poverty and the people they are against are their own tribes people.

And Asia is starting to change the countries are Starting to pass protection laws, More and more people are turning away from superstition and towards Modern medicines.

And the thing about fishing again Just prove you are a euro centric twat no better than a colonialist. How about Europe helps out but STOP WASTING EVERYONE TIME WITH RIDICULOUS TRADITIONAL FARMING!!!!! you have some of the best soil on Earth and your incompetent backwards asses squander it with pathetic hill peasants trying to grow food like it is the 1700's!!!
Let see ALL of the EU put together has 500 million people Indonesia A strip of Islands has 600 million! they are FULL they need to import food. How about helping to FIX things instead of Just spewing Shit you fucking tried and Fucked everyone else up with for centuries!!!
When Asia Invades Your ass DON'T Fucking complain Because you will have deserved it !!!!

Europe less than a 6th the population fucked it oceans since 1950

Sorry but after that babble, this conversation is over.
You are one deranged idiot Veya and I am not wasting my time talking to an idiot.
If you cannot see that the problem is at the source and stopping those funding this, then you are utterly clueless.
You are now on ignore full stop, because it is impossible to have an intelligent debate with you, you lack any sense.

Poaching is, at the root of the problem, all about value whether it's from the poor or the rich.

Nobody poaches rats, because none of their parts will fetch anything on the market.

It's another of the many problems in the world that comes down to resources whether real or just perceived.

The problem is not going to be resolved around income, we have people well off in the west that poach because the money is paid to easily entice people to carry out such acts. Where you have to concentrate is the source of those who are paying and where to tackle the problem

Some method of cutting off the money train would seem to be the solution, I agree. Reality being what it is, it would probably be easier to scare the poor off of this than the rich, who tend to think their money will solve any problem that might come up.

But is it the poor in the west Ben?
Maybe in Africa, where they are being exploited, but I am not sure it is the poor as such that are the ones poaching in the West.
Victor would be best placed to answer on this as this is his area of knowledge.

Like I said before, it's about riches. Doesn't matter if you're rich or poor.

Canned hunting is pure evil. Even saw a pic the other day of a woman looking proud she had shot a giraffe! FGS! Standing over it with her rifle, scum.

ACTUALLY, Veya, Indonesia has between 220 and 230 million people...

TO REACH some 600 million, I reckon you would have to add some in of it's S.E.Asia neighbours ~ maybe the likes of Malaysia, Brunei, Burma, Singapore, maybe the Philippines and/or Thailand even.. If still a bit short, there's always another three countries in the former IndoChina..

ALL of these countries have been NET importers of food for some decades already.

When talking about existence, you might want to consider black males. They should be on your endangered lists, should they not? I don't know, it's too elitist to be concerned about your pets, but not about your fellow man.

ISIL isn't our problem. We'll sit over here and watch Israel and Iran go at it. I think you will find that ISIL will cave when the heavies go at it.

Not an American problem....I take it that's what you mean? Well that's true but only to a certain extent,as that security of distance is surmountable as there are many ISIS supporters in the USA.

And when you say the heavies,who or what are you referring to?

Heavies = Israel and Iran.  The rest of these kids are noise makers.

During the 1920s we had anarchists.  They threw a couple of bombs and then got jobs.


We survived.  Truth is, the only reason since we went to war since Dec. 7th 1941, was indirectly for some reason having to do with Europe.  Forty years of anti-communism, and now this anti-Muslim thing.  Fact is, America hasn't gone more'n a couple years without some sort of conflict, somewhere.  It's time to put it to rest.
