Three Poachers Eaten Alive by Lions While Trying to Hunt Rhino
Just days after a big game hunter’s giraffe trophy went viral as people shared their disgust and outrage, another story is making headlines.
This time, however, a group of poachers crept onto a wildlife preserve with the intention of killing a rhinoceros.
Things did not go their way, because they were found and devoured by lions.
On Thursday, the Sibuya Game Preserve issued a press release, written by preserve owner Nick Fox.
“Sometime during the night of Sunday 1st and early hours of Monday 2nd July,” the release begins. “A group of at least three poachers entered Sibuya Game Reserve.”
Horrifying that this still happens, even on wildlife preserves.
But this time, things did not go as the poachers had planned.
The release details: “They were armed with, amongst other things, a high powered rifle with a silencer, an axe, wire cutters and had food supplies for a number of days.”
Gruesome tools.
The release notes that these are “all the hallmarks of a gang intent on killing rhino and removing their horns.”
They believe that these hunters became the hunted at some time around 4:30am on Monday morning.
But they did not discover the remains for another day and a half.
“At about 4.30 pm on Tuesday 3rd July,” the release continues. “One of our field guides on game drive alerted the Anti-Poaching Unit that there appeared to be human remains as well as other items in the immediate vicinity of the lions.”
In terms of body parts, they found one human skull and a fragment of a human pelvis.
They identified that there were three victims based upon finding three pairs of gloves, and the knowledge that rhino-poachers tend to work in threes.
“Clearly,” Fox’s release says. “The poachers had walked into a pride of six lions and some, if not all had been killed.”
They used a helicopter to search for any fleeing survivors, but found no trace.
“At this stage it is not clear exactly how many poachers were killed but the Police forensic team continue to investigate,” the release says.
When this news broke, many animal rights advocates were of course relieved at the news that a rhino had been spared from a grisly fate.
Those happy thoughts turned grim, however, when people began to worry about the fate of the lions themselves. Would they, people feared, be euthanized?
In a follow-up post, the Sibuya Game Preservea ddressed those concerns.
“We have received many questions relating to the future of the six lions involved in the tragic incident surrounding the killing of suspected poachers,” the post begins.
You can stop holding your breath — the lions are not going to be killed.
(Please note that this particular lion in the photograph has been tranquilized so that he can be monitored for conservation efforts)
“The six lions involved were darted (anesthetized) from a game viewing vehicle,” the post explains. “And their reaction to the vehicle at that time was closely monitored by myself, the veterinary staff as well as our conservation staff.”
The post is happy to announce that “their behaviour appeared no different from that exhibited towards these vehicles over the last ten years.”
In other words, there is no indication that these lions have suddenly realized that humans are delicious, easy prey and are not preparing to drag innocent biologists out of their cars for a snack.
“Although we will continue to be extremely vigilant,” the post says. “We remain positive that this incident will not necessitate any changes to the status quo of our lions.”
This should serve as a reminder that lions are powerful predators who view humans traveling on foot as potential prey.
They may be beautiful, but they should be photographed from afar under the guidance of those who are truly experienced with African wildlife.
Or, you know, at a zoo.
Many hope that this event will be a stern reminder to poachers that perhaps they should not be in a line of work that involves snuffing out an innocent life in order to cut off part of its face.
Sometimes, people who sneak into wildlife preserves get eaten.

Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 11 Episode 5 Recap: Lions, Tigers & Texts, K Bai
On Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 11 Episode 5, Khloe hoped to find solace at the Black Jaguar White Tiger Foundation in Mexico City.
Meanwhile, Kris discovered that Kim is the most impolite house guest EVER.
I’m not sure if it’s because she’s now arty or if we should blame it on pregnancy hormones, but Kim’s overall demeanor in last night’s episode was super rude.
Kim was short with her mother, whose back she’s always had in the past. I would blame her attitude on the Khloe and Lamar divorce drama, but this show is always edited out of order, so how am I to know?
Speaking of which, I don’t think that Kris gave Lamar Khloe’s new phone number to stir the pot. Kris knows that the situation is way too delicate to do any sort of meddling, and I think it’s pretty great of her to still be in touch with Lamar.
I say that carefully, because her daughter fought tooth and nail to keep the marriage together before finally deciding to file for divorce.
Kris is stuck between a rock and hard place; Lamar has no extended family to lean on, but Khloe is her daughter.
Kim could give two figs about Kris’ compassion, though. She’s taken it upon herself to get involved, and she’s going to get Kris on that stake and light the match herself, if it’s the last thing she does.
Oh, and she’s living at her mom’s.
I can’t even talk about Kylie because she’s been replaced by a wax figure.
Corey Gamble is really trying to ingrain himself into the Kardashian fold. He expresses his love for the girls as his “kids” (Kourtney is a year old than he is), and just really rubs it in that he wants to be part of the family.
Corey’s kind of annoying.
As always, you can follow the link to watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online and hit the comments below to discuss all this kraziness.

Walter Palmer: Cecil the Lion"s Killer Will NOT Face Criminal Charges!
Over the summer, the Internet flipped out over what appeared to be the unlawful killing of the beloved beast known as Cecil the Lion.
Cecil was a major attraction at Zimbabwe’s Hwange National Park, and had long been part of an Oxford conservation study.
In June, he was lured out of the sanctuary, shot with a bow and arrow and tracked form more than 40 hours before eventually being shot, skinned and decapitated.
When park officials found his body, they noted that his tracking collar had been removed, thus indicating that whoever killed him was well aware that this was no ordinary lion.
In July, a Minnesota dentist named Walter Palmer admitted to killing Cecil and incurred the wrath of animal lovers the world over.
Palmer was forced into hiding and temporarily closed his dental practice. There was a time when it looked as though he might be extradited and wind up serving jail time in Zimbabwe.
To the shock of millions, however, it now seems that Palmer will not face any sort of criminal charges as a result of killing Cecil.
TMZ is reporting that Palmer has been cleared of any wrongdoing by Zimbabwe’s environmental minister.
An investigation revealed that Palmer had filed the proper papers and had “legal authority to conduct the hunt.”
A happy day for Palmer and his family, no doubt, but a sad one for those who hold Cecil’s memory close to their hearts.
