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.

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.

It was reported today that some of the big cats were wearing Nike Yeezy 2 Red October tennis shoes.

Perhaps this wasn't just a rhino protection operation...but a shoe collection operation.

The cats were overheard asking each other, “do you want a leg or a thigh?”

Rhino Poachers, NOT RINO.
