That's easy to say for someone living in a rich country. Before you advocate the murder of poachers, remember that they are most quite likely not evil, but rather ordinary poor people just trying to survive. The world is rarely that simple.
- hnriot 14y agoYes but there's six billion of our species and very few rhino left. You could wipe out all the world's poachers and it be a rounding error on human population. While I don't think advocating killing anyone is a good idea, I have no sympathy for poachers.
- denom 14y agoWhat are you advocating here? This is a very disturbing statement.
- tedunangst 14y agoEverybody is equal, except the people we don't like.
- sliverstorm 14y agoYeah, it sure is an affront to the basics of civilized society when violent criminals are prosecuted. I mean, what justification is there aside from "we don't like them"?
- yohui 14y agoBecause I support prosecuting animal poachers, I do not approve of hunting them like animals themselves.
- CamperBob2 14y ago(Shrug) Sorry, I'm not 'equal' to a poacher. That's an idea that somebody spun from whole cloth, one that a lot of other people seem to accept as an unjustified axiom.
- hnriot 14y agoAlthough I don't support it myself, I live in America where there is the death penalty, so we already kill people for doing things we don't like. I am advocating that the defense that poachers are just some poor schmuck that wants to feed himself is bullshit.
