Kruger Rangers fundet en mistænkt krybskytte død efter en elefant stomp på stolsnek

Kruger nationalpark, syd africa - Rangers on an intelligence-led anti-poaching operation in October 2021 found a mangled male body at Stolsnek. Spokesman Isaac Phaahla told AFP an elephant had stomped a suspected poacher and that his accomplices had left him. “No animal was killed in the immediate vicinity,” he said. The phone survived. Rangers gave it to police. CBS News og Newsweek med citatet.

This was the second such death in Kruger in 2021. In April a suspected rhino poacher died under a breeding herd near Phabeni after rangers spotted his group and the men ran the wrong way. Two incidents is a pattern. Phaahla’s standing warning did not change: people who come into Kruger to kill rhinos should expect the park to kill them back, with or without a ranger’s rifle.
