<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">LUSAKA (AFP) - Poachers have shot the last two white rhinos in Zambia, killing one and wounding the other, in a night operation at the Mosi-Oa-Tunya national park in Livingstone, an official said Tuesday.

The shooting of the two endangered animals in a heavily-guarded zoological park near Victoria Falls in Zambia's tourist resort town of Livingstone took place last week.

"I can confirm that one of the white rhinos was shot dead by suspected poachers. The other one was wounded and is undergoing treatment," said Maureen Mwape, spokesperson of the Zambia Wildlife Authority (ZAWA), which would be investigating the shooting.</div>

It is disgusting, but it's never going to change.

lol @ the first paragraph

Yeah it is disgusting and I agree it will never change. However, they should increase the punishment for poaching. If you're caught, there should be extremely severe penalties to face.

I do agree. Poachers give legal hunters a bad reputation, I hunt, my family has hunted for decades now, it's a tradition in my family.

What kind of penalty would you like to see?

Yes, they do give bad reputations to good-willed hunters. Well I think it depends on where and what they are hunting for the sentance order. Incidents like this I think they should get life in prison, which in Africa any prison sentance is horrendous. Imagine a life sentance. I don't want to put death, just because I don't like the idea of anyone being killed in general. I know that some poachers in the past have had both of their hands cuts off when caught. That's a bit barbaric though and as a society of modern people we have to move past that type of thing. Anyway, life in prison at a poor establishment is really bad enough for these people.

What do you think?

 

[Mamba]

I think there should definitely be a heavy prison sentence involved. Maybe the first offense like 10 years, second 20, and if there is any after that...life. It's disgusting that people kill these near extinct animals.

lol, its the Mtwo one and Mamba show!


But this is horrible. Like M Two One said, i think they should have more of a penalty so it cuts down on the poachers.
