suspected rhino poacher killed by an elephant and then eaten by lions - will goodell
https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/07/africa/south-africa-rhino-poacher-eaten/index.html
a suspected rhino poacher was killed by an elephant and then eaten by lions at the kruger national park in south africa, officials said only a skull and a pair of trousers were found on the scene of the crime, the man entered the park monday with four other poachers to hunt rhinos. an elephant 'suddenly' attacked the alleged poacher, killing him, leaving his accomplices to carry his body to the open road in order to be seen by park officials, and then vanished from the park. indications found at the scene suggested that a pride of lions had devoured the body leaving little reminets. the african rhino is targeted for its horns which are then smuggled and sold for lots of money, leaving the species close to extinction. while this incident is rather sad for the family, i dont feel very bad because the poacher had entered the park and knew what he was doing was illegal, poaching is a punishable crime, so in a way he got karma.
