Poacher chased by hippos then eaten by lions in Kruger National Park

A POACHER has been chased by hippos into a pride of lions and eaten in South Africa's Kruger Park.
Rangers said they believed the man was devoured by the beasts after he was chased by a pack of wild hippos while hunting in the world famous reserve.
He was reported missing last week by two alleged fellow poachers who managed to escape the horror.
Officials who searched the area where the attack happened later discovered part of a human skull and pieces of ripped clothing.
South African National Parks spokeswoman Laura Mukwevho said the group had been setting snares when they were cornered by the animals.
"What we have heard from those who survived suggests this was a vicious attack by wild animals.
"It appears the man was chased by hippos. We assume he must then have been eaten by lions."

That's not a horror, that's nature. I feel nothing for this guy.
If you wanna hunt, fine, hunt, but don't up and throw a fit when one of the beasts you're chasing around with a bunch of weapons actually fights back. What the fuck kinda shit is that?

People seem to think that, because we have missiles and guns and planes and all of this high technology, animals can't hurt us. Just another case of getting proven wrong.
At least it's an exciting death. Cooler than a car crash or something. I'd be interested to see if he went out fighting or just freaked out and got chased down.

Jesus why would you want to see that? You may have a funny mental image of the incident but someone being ripped apart by lions is not a pretty picture.
If I was abysmally poor and had a family to feed tge World Wildife Fund could go and fuck itself, I would go hunting in the "wild reserve" too.
Think about it, half the country is starving but in the area with the juiciest animals you supposedly can;t hunt because rich white folk want to go on safari. Screw that.

Yeah, this death just doesn't surprise me. And how am I to know that it wasn't some British guy trying to get rich quick off of ivory and such? I don't.

those communities get loads of money from trophy hunting and there's plenty of game outside the protected reserves... no one eats lions or hippos, more likely gazelles and other small ungulates. this person was likely not poaching to feed a family, but its all speculation anyway.

You're obviously missing the biggest detail about the incident. He was a POACHER. He deserved far worse than what the Lions did to him.
Nobody eats Hippo's and Lions, and do you know why? Because they fucking kill you. Poachers kill these animals for their pelts or tusks. There is nothing of use in a Lion to a hunter feeding his family.

The first thing I thought of was hungry-hungry hippos chasing him, and then cartoon lions sitting around a table, one of them sharpening a knife and the other putting out silverware.
Then yeah it does beg the question, did he just bitch out and let them eat him? Did he squirm as they ripped him apart, or at least get a few punches in?

i have a feeling the hungry-hungry hippos chased him
then the cowardly lion that was somewhere in that pack of lions needed a heart which of course... got one from that poacher

Actually Hippos are very aggressive, so this isn't a shock at all

Can you enlighten me on additional differences between a hunter and a poacher other than that the powers that be say you cant hunt there?

Where the hell does everybody get the idea the guy hunted the hippos and lions? They hunted him.
