Suspected rhino poacher trampled by elephant, eaten by lions,

sounds like Natural Selection at its finest.
I hunt moose and deer every year here in Canada, a couple of years ago I was at the Metro Toronto Zoo watching the pair of white Rhino's they have gallop around their paddock for a good half hour. I made sure not to leave to be able to remember the whole thing and reminded my daughter that she may never see such a thing again. Brings a tear to my eye actually. I support sustainable hunting in Africa though poaching endangered animals like the Rhino is really sad. Poverty mixed with large financial rewards however will lead to many things, Better to employ the poachers as sustainable hunters to preserve the natural ecology for future generations to see, experience and enjoy.

After his death, the group carried his body to a nearby road so passers-by could find it in the morning before vanishing from the park.
Good buddies he had.

Most recent article indicated only his skull and a pair of pants was left, not much to carry.
Karma can be a bee-atch.

Phil sadly many of these poachers hunt for the meat, sustenance. Then there are those that will offer " hunts " to tourists for far less than the outfitters do. When you see someone making 10-20 even 50k from a hunt and you live hand to mouth is it not a stretch that they will break resort to this.

True, most of these guys are living a subsistence existence and just trying to get by.

Rhino poachers are out to get rich...
The poachers don't get rich, the middle-men do.
True there is massive poverty in Africa
I still dont feel bad for people poaching the last few animals on earth to extinction...if there were tens of thousands of them like gazell6and or wildebeast I'd be all for it. We could go on about the issues in Africa and the rest of the world but really in this case ya plays the game you takes your chances and sometimes ya lose.
