Suspected rhino poacher trampled by elephant, eaten by lions, South Africa park officials say
By Louis Casiano | Fox News

A suspected rhino poacher was trampled to death by an elephant, and then his body was ravaged by lions, according to officials with South African National Parks.

The incident occurred Tuesday at Kruger National Park and the remains of the man were recovered two days later, park officials said. His identity has not been released.

"Indications found at the scene suggested that a pride of lions had devoured the remains leaving only a human skull and a pair of pants," a national parks statement said.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Nice to see the critters taking care of business.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
