Just Tie Rhino/Elephant Poachers To Trees Or Stakes And Let Predators Have Them.

What I have just said is outrageous but I just makes you feel sick and sad that poachers are killing so much wildlife on the preserves. The poachers killed by the lions deserved what they got. These vicious dangerous poachers need to feel the same fear that their prey feels.

It would be poetic justice if they knew that if they were captured they would face such fate. Sure it is cruel and unusual punishment. Even extreme measures probably will not save these species.

And you are calling for horrific and brutal human deaths over it?

Why not hold the same position when it comes to the brutality of our farming practices? Why not call for the horrific and brutal death of a majority of Americans?

I think this is a fair question.

I don't get how people justify their blood lust.

I'm a vegetarian, and completely agree with you about factory farming. I'm also against the death penalty.

But we can try to solve more than one problem at a time. At least in the case of predators v humans, its survival of the fittest, and not state sanctioned killing.

A brutal human policy that simply matches the brutality of the criminals.

I do not support a word of the blood lust in the op. I think my question is absolutely fair and is not what aboutism. If you are cheering and promoting the brutal killing of humans for cruelty, why never make the claim about an overwhelming majority of Americans who support an even more brutal and cruel practice.

But humans who go into the wild to illegally kill, and then get killed by other predators, are simply part of the balance of nature, survival of the fittest, if you will.

I don't take issue with your sentence in any way.

Nothing in the sentence you have written here rises to the inhumane and barbaric level portrayed in the op.
