Suspected Poacher 'Trampled to Death by Elephants' Splits Netizens

According to South African authorities, an alleged poacher was killed by a group of breeding elephants he met while avoiding park rangers.

The first thing to remember is that poaching cannot be taken at face value.

Individuals such as the man killed in Kruger are not the ones that started the violence. They aren't the smugglers' bosses, whose avarice drives them to commit heinous offenses against animals. They aren't rejoicing in the income produced by East Asian demand. These poachers are typically vulnerable people who live in deplorable conditions and receive little to no compensation from the emerging eco-tourism companies that work near their homes.
