Rhino 1, Poacher stomped

Good day all. It’s time for some amusing news I think. Today we have a small disagreement between a poacher and a rhinoceros. The poacher assumed he was going to get another trophy, but it didn’t quite work out that way.

The incident took place in Namibia, which has a large problem with poachers going after endangered animals. Normally, rhino’s don’t stand a chance. This time, well, here are the details of what happened from Fox News:

Animal poaching – when creatures are killed illegally – is a big problem in many parts of the world. But last week, in the southwest African nation of Namibia, one rhino fought back. The Namibian newspaper reported that the rhino “appeared from nowhere” to turn the tables on a suspected poacher — charging and injuring the man while he was allegedly tracking it.

The incident happened in Etosha National Park after suspect Luteni Muharukua and other alleged poachers illegally entered the wildlife area in hopes of killing rhinos for their horns. Police Officer Simson Shilongo said the rhino inflicted a severe leg injury on Muharukua after he fell while fleeing, the newspaper reported. Shilongo said the suspect’s friends found refuge for him on a nearby mountain and police arrested him there Oct. 15, a day after he was injured.

Can we get a great big “AWWW” for the poacher’s no doubt painful injury? No? Oh well. I guess it sucks to be him. As for the rhino? I suspect he’s getting a nice tattoo on his flank. Something like a stick figure man holding an AK-47 with a red “X” over it. It’s always nice when the tables are turned, don’t you think?
