Yes I would gladly execute these scum poachers but there would be no market if brainless idiots used their head instead if believing all this mythology about animal body parts. Disgusting Heathens with no more brains than they were born with. Yes there are worse things but I truly morn the these and other magnificent creatures murdered by lowlives to supply lowlives.

It wasn't so long ago that the British were buying ivory. I remember the first time I went to Africa (1982) and people in my safari group wanted to buy some.

[ladybirder]

Absolutely TTT. Breaks my heart over and over when I read this sort of thing.

[ToraToraTora]

what's this got to do with ivory 237sj?

[Mamyalynne]

Truly despicable.

[Peter Pedant]

SJ you dont get ivory from a hippo

Do people agree with me that 3T is even more inarticulate than usual this evening ?

[emmie]

watched this story this morning, i feel the same

[emmie]

not a hippo

Poachers kill rhino for his horn at French zoo

[237SJ]

Market for Rhino horn, Elephant tusk - I would have thought that the similarity would be obvious

[ToraToraTora]

stop trolling PP

[ToraToraTora]

Well it might be 237sj, if Rhino Horn was Ivory.

[ToraToraTora]

Rhino Horn is powdered and sold to rich idiots who think it will help them in the bedroom.

[237SJ]

TTT I don't get your point. So are you saying it is OK to own a piece of ivory but you can't use Rhino horn as a cure all?

[emmie]

which of course it doesn't,
we will wipe them out if someone doesn't do something soon.

[ToraToraTora]

no 237sj that's just as bad but we are not talking about ivory. Your twee attempt to troll this thread with "well they sold ivory in Britain" - na na nana na, has exposed your ignorance.

[237SJ]

"Your twee attempt to troll this thread" I won`t even bother to honour that with a reply. Maybe you should step away from the booze bottle. Good luck with that.

[ToraToraTora]

I'm sober

[237SJ]

So you are like this when you are sober? That is even worse

[wolf63]

I might not agree with hunting, but accept that in some situations it should be allowed.

But to kill an animal that has no hope of escape so that money can be made is wrong no matter how I look at it.

It is wrong

[andy-hughes]

What is wrong with people is that they like easy money.

Forty grand for shooting an animal and cutting a piece off it would sound like a good deal to some.

[emmie]

how the hell did they get into the zoo and no one noticed.
