At least three suspected rhino poachers have been killed by a pride of lions after they broke into a game reserve in South Africa.
Rangers discovered human remains around 4:30 p.m. local time on July 3 in the immediate vicinity of the lions territory at the Sibuya Game Reserve in Kenton-on-Sea in the Eastern Cape, more than 24 hours after an anti-poaching dog alerted her handler that something was amiss.
The ranger however did not examine the disturbance further because it was not unusual to hear the lions at night.
When members of the anti-poaching unit investigated, they recovered human remains, a high-powered rifle with a silencer, wire cutters, an axe and three pairs of shoes.
Nick Fox, the parks owner, said the lions were shot with tranquilizer darts at first light so police forensic teams and the anti-poaching unit could comb the area for clues, and admitted it was not clear how many poachers may have been killed.
The only body part we found was one skull and one bit of pelvis, everything else was completely gone, he told Newsweek. There is so little left that they dont know exactly how many people were killed, we suspect three because we found three sets of shoes and three sets of gloves.
He added: They came heavily armed with hunting rifles and axes which we have recovered and enough food to last them for several days so we suspect they were after all of our rhinos here. But the lions are our watchers and guardians and they picked the wrong pride and became a meal.

Don't worry. We'll get those bastards that killed your friends.
Just remember we did you this favor.
Not a pleasant way to go.
At first, I thought it said RINO poachers, and I thought, is this how far the pubbies have fallen?
being turned into into lion poo is not the way to go.
Never get out of the boat.
If the lions kill the RINO poachers, I say give those lions whatever they want.
“being turned into into lion poo is not the way to go.”
The late Jimmy Hoffa probably had it worse. Chances are he was whacked, taken to a rendering plant where his remains were reduced to cracklings and turned into dog food. Then they were disposed in thousands of piles of dog poo.
Good boys!
“brrrrrrrp. aaaaaaaaash............”
I would say that is a good start.
Good!
Like the grail knight says they chose poorly
Happy ending.
The greatest animated movie of all time. I’m already Jonesing for the live-action one.
You have got to be kidding. Everytime I start to hear makuna makata my ears freeze shut.
Need more lions to watch the Rinos—or maybe a tribe of wild Native who will slay any who trespass on their sacred lands. Like the Gabonis in the old Tarzan flicks—they didn’t take anything from anyone.
