Apparently, a group of poachers were in Kruger National Park poaching rhinos (for their horns) when their day took a turn for the worse. It seems that at least one of them was killed by one or more elephants and then eaten by lions. I can hear the arguments now: They were just trying to make money to feed their families, yada, yada. Don't care, as I've said before: Can't feed 'em, don't breed em. What I do care about is that there are some cultures amongst my species that still believe that, somehow, rhino horn is the cure for their micro-dick affliction or impotence. Come on people, it's the 21st century, buy some damned Viagra because the rhino horn doesn't do anything. The fact that the horns of these animals are taken for any reason, much less witchcraft, is completely unconscionable and incomprehensible.
It seems that four of the group were arrested and missed their chance to end up on the menu at Chez Lion.
