These rangers are one of the world's greatest heroes. They risk their lives to protect with little pay. This really shows how much they care for these animals and want to protect them. We honestly should have open season for poachers. Huge rewards for every head they bring in.
Barbaric. How would you feel if people demanded that you be killed for being a desperate, impoverished man just trying to feed his family any way you can.
I worked for a small company and without going into detail a lot of poachers were taken out. Hired by the local government of where I was stationed at the task was to go in and disappear as if we weren't there but to take out as many as we can. We jokingly called it operation poached egg because of the people we were going to make contact with and the hard boiled eggs we had to eat those 2 days.
Curious. Do government officials in these countries assist in poaching? Since you guys kill these poachers, is it because they regularly kill Rangers? The deterrent part with killing them is established I know.
@@paulstone3590 Poachers basically are fucked if they're caught: kill a ranger and the local government can have all poachers placed on a kill on sight list and no legal group with a reputation is going to try and defend the killing of a poacher, get caught in general and there will be hell to pay when ur hauled to court by the local government as again no legal group or home country is going to spend money defending its own who was caught poaching
@@Freedomcustom I don't know. I agree that other Rangers will kill poachers on sight if their colleague is killed. But my question is are certain government officials participating in poaching to line their pockets? Because most these places are third world countries. They value human life cheap and animals even cheaper.
I like the idea of the turtle eggs, and I think every one, from the poacher to the final consumer, should get the Aztec treatment at the hands of a good aztec priest in a pyramid, with a good obsidian knife.
nah, bring in the Norse and let them do the thing that's worse than a Blood Eagle, they would take one end of your intestines and nail it to a tree and make you run laps around it making you disembowel yourself while you felt every agonizing second of it
I love this episode with a passion. I've always imagined seeking out poachers, a mercenary for the animals. Its crazy how little they make, but I love the lengths people have gone to fuck with poachers. Poisoned rhino horn lol hilarious
I think we should be able to be go after any poacher and do to them what they do the animals they poach. I don't see why people want to do that anymore in this day and age. Love this video! It should be shared all over!
It should be open season on poachers all year long with a bounty on every one you bring in. A friend of mine worked at the sewage treatment plant in Atlanta. One day they found wads of money that were dyed red in the sewage. He tried every kind of solvent imaginable to remove the red dye. The morale of the story is you will never be able to remove the dye from the rhino horns.
"I hunt to save a species, you hunt for greed, we are not the same". In all seriousness poachers take out park rangers and most people shouldn't have access to these areas unsupervised so I find it justified. Ah yes the awesome demand for allowing trespassing, poaching, mutilation for greed and human deaths. Poachers are only there for ill intent and self preservation so the Rangers should be able to protect themselves and others before the deed is done.
I rewatched this and was incensed by the poultry sum each African Ranger is paid. These stalwart brave Rangers are being themselves killed by the poachers. Yet they are doing such an important job to protect wildlife. I truly feel we could do more for the Rangers. 💪🏼🙏🏻✨
The real problem here is that people are busting their ass for the next to nothing and Crime Pays way more than honest work this hardly sounds like the Hallmark of a happy and stable Society
I really feel for these rangers who are willing to risk their lives to save these animals and only being paid a pittance. There should be an account or something to donate money directly to the rangers, animal lovers around the world would be willing to donate to them. I know i would.
After hearing of the fact that Even after dyeing their horn pink , some poacher still kill rhino just out of anger and revenge is absolutely saddening and terrifying to see how low the level of their humanity can go .
Agreed, they destroy their own future business, I can only think they're greedy or desperate, it they tranqed and removed the horn then they could have a future too. I don't know maybe if the economy was aided it could discourage it
sad part of Rhino trade is that, its part of a highly organized secret organisation which often include Officials. And poachers are just pawns for the so called organisations. the kingpins liase with officials so never actually get caught when poachers are shot at sight\ shoot at rangers vice-versa
Easy solution, death penalty for anyone involved in poaching. If you are complicit in any way shape or form in poaching you are dead! We need extreme measures to deal with greedy POS people that didn't deserve life from the start, either do that or loose all endangered animals on the planet.
$170 per month. In Uganda that is about 50% above the average income. Comparatively, I would imagine being a Ranger is a good, well paying job for these guys, though it be a very risky one as well. A needed job, those guys are awesome!
Not necessarily. The people consuming rhino horns are living in truly desperate poverty, without access to effective medicine, hoping that these "traditional remedies" will cure their cancer or other serious ailments. A much better approach would be education that these methods don't work, easier access to medicine that does work, and measures to decrease poverty in general. It's easy to assume anyone paying into this industry is evil, but that's not always the case. Humanitarian relief efforts would go a lot farther than poisoning villagers who have nothing.
Germany has a great way to deal with this. It's called "Puma". I'd love to see what thermal sights on a 20mm auto-cannon shooting at poachers could do. Also it's strong enough to withstand tank shots and supposidly has the ability to mount surface to air missiles.
Way too expensive for most wildlife reserves, in fact if Germany's economy gets hit too hard due to outside events (Ukraine war) I wouldn't surprised if Puma gets sold due to budget issues.
African wildlife reserves do not have anywhere near close to enough money to buy, maintenance, buy ammo, and train men to use a fucking tank. If African countries wanted to protect wildlife with tanks they'd deploy militaries not park rangers.
@@ericyoon5627 (Besides the dubious morality of driving animals to extinction in the name of capitalism) let's assume the only thing that matters is human life, destroying ecosystems by eradicating megafauna and other keystone species will inevitably lead to the death of humans down the line, so fighting poachers saves humans as well.
Poachers don’t need trunks. The nose is worth nothing luckily. It’s their tusks. And if all of them loose their tusks they will all die. Because males cannot have this tuskless genetic
That's actually wrong. There were always elephants without tusks. But when only the tuskless elepants breed (due to only the elephants with tusks being hunted), that causes a form of evolution. The one darwin was referring to. Survival of the fittest, only the fittest are those surviving humans this time.
They didn't evolve.... The males with smaller tusks that would not stand a chance against another bull with large tusks are the ones who are mating now. The big tusk males are just dying out due to poaching. Small tusks are the genetic variant that overpopulated the gene pool.
Should have a new game called “hunt the poachers”. It will provide free transportation (but u have to provide ur own meals and guns and other stuff). Each captured poacher, dead or alive, will give u, say $1000.
Since this is a global issue, I think that the UN should have a poaching task force that includes platoons of soldiers from different countries on a rotating basis to get the numbers of groups protecting these great animals much higher.
Okay so I may be a little bit high. But when he began the video and started talking about poacher hunters, and then showed a guy walking with a gun. I really thought for a moment there was an assassin group, going around eliminating poachers 😂
When I first heard that one of the mitigation techniques was to take the horn off I was shocked like "you have become what you swore to stop" and wondered if it would affect the animal. Glad to know my worry was misplaced.
Ive had real animal horns. BUT it was harvested from dead animals, that died from old age or illnesses. Ive always been for the protection of our wild animals as its their job to keep nature in balance. What most people dont understand that (almost) every animal has a purpose in nature (only ticks have ABSOLUTELY no use)
I would think that having several ghillie suited snipers hiding in the area and taking out the poachers when they see them would likely put a massive dent in the poaching problem.
Right on school is in.. We all get to learn something we never thought to even think about learning.. But it's gonna be cool.. C told yah lol great content!.
Watching Bambi 12 times, I thought there were laws against cruel and unusual punishments! Mind you my daughter made me sit through Jungle Book at least 30 times. Maybe a letter to the Hague is needed. 🤔🤔
It's not about the ivory, ivory, ivory. We don't need your ivory, ivory, ivory. We just wanna make the world dance, don't care about the price tag. It ain't about the, uh, rhino rhino. It ain't about the, yeah, rhino rhino. We just wanna make the world dance, we don't care about the price tag.
"It's not about the ivory it's about the message" And the message is, "Hey poachers! Now ivory is *even* *more* valuable for you to poach, because we destroy any we confiscate."
I can respect a hunter hunting for food, they're doing that so they can eat. Poachers are not hunters, they don't support life, they only care for money, and do not care for the well being of others or ecosystems.
The issue with selling the ivory is it creates more demand. So more animals will be killed in the future. Best to burn it and send a message to the customers to stop wanting it.
But on the other hand, if they sell those tusk it would simply encourage buyers to buy them and w/o any risk at that, this could possibly raise the demand(humans are greedy creatures) and thus resulting in many others to be killed. Either way will have a negative effect and maybe burning is the lesser evil in this case.
sort of. but if you sell or gift them you sustain the market and maintain it's social value. if a person can say their ivory was the result of government seizure they can obscure the fact that they're a black market collector.
Awesome so satisfying to know it might be extreme to some people but it's not to say the species they are here for a reason like everybody else we wipe them out it becomes an unbalanced circle of life and I'm so grateful that people are taking that extreme to save a species because it's worth saving and I am so glad people are out there to care and makes you think that we are not so lost
when poaching rhino makes them 500k Us dollars richer and out of poverty vs being a ranger risking your life at $170 a month chasing flying bullets as you live in poverty. Which side would you take? because obviously these animal researchers or government officials ain't chasing the flying bullets of poachers, but sitting at their luxurious home and eating good with ac on as they wait for the good news or bad news reports only.
Well, it isn't the poachers that get 500k US $, it's what it is sold for, to the consumers. Poachers get less per month, than rangers. Manny rangers has been poachers, befor they got caught and sentenced, and therfor they now can fred and house their familly, what they couldn't do when farming and poaching.
Would your rather be a hard working citizen making maybe 100k dollars a day if your lucky or be a bank robber making 100,000s of dollars per robbery if not more. Obvious. Edit: I meant every hour I’m not poor
I'm sure they're likely to make more as a poacher than a ranger. The risk of death on both ends are still the same. it's depends on their own faith if they die today or get caught. Being chained up with made up rules and law under the greedy government do what the governments want or face consequences vs be free and do what they want with consequences. it's their choice to do what's best fit for their survival.
I dunno...if they knew how much damage we'd managed to do to ourselves trying to "help" each other, I'm pretty sure they'd agree with the scientists in the end...
A lot of the horns end up grinded into powder in China for sure...Also what, interfering to gorillas life too much if teaching them to recognize and dismantle traps made to kill or capture them? Like placing those traps down is not already well over the line as it is.
Yep, Eastern countries in generally believe in traditional medicine and do sometimes go too far. Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam all do it as well but China is def one of the bigger if not the biggest one
It's banned in China - unless it is for medicinal purposes. In fact many natural stuff has been done in China that ended up being a cure and even won Nobel peace prices when combined to increase efficacy
@@jackeyster5079 Many western medicines make your of traditional medicine, some is combined with western medicine and works as it increases it's effectiveness. Some even won Nobel awards even though the award itself is heavily biased towards the west and has been proven. In addition to that, the vast majority of the people here have no idea in addition to even remotely understanding China or have even been. But still pretend that reading the news or media on UA-cam will give them all the information especially with UA-cam censorship.
Seriously we need to have active effort in helping rangers deal with poachers. If the ecology dies then we can expect a climate refugee crisis of unprecedented levels.
I came across the fact somewhere that the heart of a giraffe is the size of a medium dog. Not sure if it's true or not, but it sounds likely since it's got that neck that it needs to pump blood up.
There is a way to fight poachers , mandatory deleting the poachers , in most those countries a poacher will get less than a yr. in prison if prosecuted at all.
I hope they can do something like this to protect Pangolins. It's not an Ant eatter about an armadillo but something that looks like a cute scale armoured pokimon. It is the most pouched animal on the planet there where nine species. There are still eight species left. They are killed at an alarming rate of 2.million a year by pouches. I'm afraid these cute pokimon creatures will disappear before most people even know they exsist.
The ivory demand will not fade. To insinuate such is a folly endeavor. I'm not pleased with this like anyone else, but it is a fact of the life we live in. I agree, repurposing what would be illicit funding from ivory into the systems that protect and nurture the animals as well as give the caretakers better supplies and pay.
I don't think "reducing demand" is the actual reason. But as far as I'm aware trading ivory is illegal to trade in most countries anyway. That means if there is a ivory product for sale the buyer and the police immediately know it's illegal. Now if you suddenly had a legal market for ivory again, it wouldn't be that clear anymore. Poachers would just sell illegal ivory with fake certificates to people who believe they are buying legal ivory for a good cause. That would make poaching a more profitable business again and at the same time make it harder for police to track down poachers. PS: Actually, I guess that also does lower the demand for LEGAL ivory though. Because if people know there is NO legal ivory to begin with, they will not try to buy such (and accidentally buy ivory from poachers)
Dude poatched for 3 years, got 1 year and watched Bambi. He got off way easy. No way he learned his lesson. Watching a movie that many times would make someone mentally numb. Stull like that doesn't work if the person doesn't have the mental empathy in the first place. He should have watched videos of kids losing their parents instead, starving families. In fact, I would have sent him to 3 years but for every deer he killed, if he had to volunteer for natural resources community service. 1 day for every deer. He would have to face the very people he screwed over. He would have to help rangers catch other poachers and see the damage it does. That would have had a greater effect. Watching Bambi, my God. What idiot in court that that was a good idea.🙄 It doesn't work for those who don't care.
Excellent points, thank you. I do think capital punishment is a good choice too since they like killing let them see it from the perspective of the animal.
@@garreksloan346 I understand. There are different levels for what is poached. I just wish it was all the same. That the courts didn't factor in endangerment and that you get in serious trouble regardless. Poaching is what leads to endangerment, stop it before the animal gets added to the list. Courts don't think like that.
I think it would be okay to teach the teens how to disable human traps. The teens probably saw what happened when they get caught and banded together to protect their family. Teaching this to some others may prevent a lot of injuries and death. Once you teach a few in each group you probably wouldn't need to keep doing so as gorillas will teach this to the young ones on their own. Especially the females as they have babies. They would teach what they were taught on how to avoid the, and likely teaching them when they are older to dismantle them. Same as they do already with many things. I understand not wanting to interfere so much but I'm pretty sure the traps do that already and cause a much bigger interference in their lives.
Sadly that's not how illegal marketplaces work. It's like trying to crack down on the drug trade; what ends up happening is that the drugs become more scarce, thus more valuable, thus the cartels that deal in them make even more money. The best way to devalue the market is to try to make ivory more available with things like fake ivory, harvesting horns from live animals, and (crucially) sell confiscated ivory instead of destroying it. The criminals have already lost their product at that point, so destroying it doesn't hurt them in any way. In fact, it just makes ivory rarer, and more valuable for them to keep poaching.
I'd be curious if you cut and sold the horns and tusks directly to the person. Selling it cheaper than the black market and slowly eating away at their profit. Plus you could get an active list of those who are interested in those commodities. Which could give away where they are buying it. Not a great solution but it would be interesting to see if it crashes the market value of the substance
Rangers should be allowed to shoot Poachers on sight (nonlethal unless necessary, but to incapacitate the Poachers so that they can't shoot back or run away)
@@TheLalacreamAnd? Let me use the most common one, shooting someone in the leg, you know what happens 9 times out of 10 when you shoot someone in the leg? They bleed to death in Five Minutes, and that's if they're lucky. Shoot them in the Arm? Same thing, bleed to death. You know why? Guns are made to kill people and there is NOWHERE YOU CAN SHOOT without a serious risk of hitting a major Vein or Artery. There is literally NOWHERE ON THE HUMAN BODY you can shoot that doesn't carry a serious risk of that person fucking dying. You fire a gun AT ALL and you are using deadly force. No ifs ands or buts. It doesn't matter what caliber bullet your firing or what kind it is.

@@paulstone3590 Poachers basically are fucked if they're caught: kill a ranger and the local government can have all poachers placed on a kill on sight list and no legal group with a reputation is going to try and defend the killing of a poacher, get caught in general and there will be hell to pay when ur hauled to court by the local government as again no legal group or home country is going to spend money defending its own who was caught poaching
@@Freedomcustom I don't know. I agree that other Rangers will kill poachers on sight if their colleague is killed. But my question is are certain government officials participating in poaching to line their pockets? Because most these places are third world countries. They value human life cheap and animals even cheaper.
An eco-hitman, pretty cool.
I like the idea of the turtle eggs, and I think every one, from the poacher to the final consumer, should get the Aztec treatment at the hands of a good aztec priest in a pyramid, with a good obsidian knife.
Nah, give a crappy, dull, rusty ass knife!
nah, bring in the Norse and let them do the thing that's worse than a Blood Eagle, they would take one end of your intestines and nail it to a tree and make you run laps around it making you disembowel yourself while you felt every agonizing second of it
Shit man
I just have to give it up to the people who put in the effort to save these animals. It's humbling
I love this episode with a passion. I've always imagined seeking out poachers, a mercenary for the animals. Its crazy how little they make, but I love the lengths people have gone to fuck with poachers. Poisoned rhino horn lol hilarious
They should use 100% lethal poison, solve the issue from the other end. No buyers would mean the market would collapse
I think we should be able to be go after any poacher and do to them what they do the animals they poach. I don't see why people want to do that anymore in this day and age. Love this video! It should be shared all over!
@@BeckyMessick that’s pretty stupid
@@BeckyMessick that’s pretty stupid
@@agentdickemdown nah why can't we
It should be open season on poachers all year long with a bounty on every one you bring in. A friend of mine worked at the sewage treatment plant in Atlanta. One day they found wads of money that were dyed red in the sewage. He tried every kind of solvent imaginable to remove the red dye. The morale of the story is you will never be able to remove the dye from the rhino horns.
Wtf
ah yes the awesome demand for human hunting ... how civilized
"I hunt to save a species, you hunt for greed, we are not the same". In all seriousness poachers take out park rangers and most people shouldn't have access to these areas unsupervised so I find it justified.
Ah yes the awesome demand for allowing trespassing, poaching, mutilation for greed and human deaths. Poachers are only there for ill intent and self preservation so the Rangers should be able to protect themselves and others before the deed is done.
@@Dar2Jee it is, what metric do you determine civil to be based on?
That's insane somebody definitely robbed a bank and got hit with the dye packs
Just remember, a rhino's horn has about the same medicinal value as your toenail clippings.
I rewatched this and was incensed by the poultry sum each African Ranger is paid. These stalwart brave Rangers are being themselves killed by the poachers. Yet they are doing such an important job to protect wildlife. I truly feel we could do more for the Rangers. 💪🏼🙏🏻✨
Poultry sum, hahaha! Because it can only buy the guy eggs maybe. Not correcting you, but it made me smile
“Hiding something from a rat seems to be impossible”
I really hope that wasn’t missed by people 😂
The real problem here is that people are busting their ass for the next to nothing and Crime Pays way more than honest work this hardly sounds like the Hallmark of a happy and stable Society
Are you just figuring that out?
having rich neighbors when you're poor is not actually a good thing. their money will turn your society into a shambles.
The cops only go after non violent people they don't go after killer's
Crime pays more because if you are caught, there are consequences. High Risk, High reward
According to most religions, evil people never have their way in the end. There is justice in the afterlife.
I really feel for these rangers who are willing to risk their lives to save these animals and only being paid a pittance. There should be an account or something to donate money directly to the rangers, animal lovers around the world would be willing to donate to them. I know i would.
That's pretty awesome... imagine we start finding a way to breed elephants and rhinos with toxic horns lmfao
After hearing of the fact that
Even after dyeing their horn pink , some poacher still kill rhino just out of anger and revenge is absolutely saddening and terrifying to see how low the level of their humanity can go .
Poachers aren't humans. They're evil incarnate, and thus should be treated as such.
@@user-sr8bo2sq3v
Nah, being described as Human, is already the worst any evil can be described.
Agreed, they destroy their own future business, I can only think they're greedy or desperate, it they tranqed and removed the horn then they could have a future too. I don't know maybe if the economy was aided it could discourage it
@@bruhtnt4258 I mean you could be described as an amoeba or something thats definitely far worse
sad part of Rhino trade is that, its part of a highly organized secret organisation which often include Officials. And poachers are just pawns for the so called organisations. the kingpins liase with officials so never actually get caught when poachers are shot at sight\ shoot at rangers vice-versa
Easy solution, death penalty for anyone involved in poaching. If you are complicit in any way shape or form in poaching you are dead! We need extreme measures to deal with greedy POS people that didn't deserve life from the start, either do that or loose all endangered animals on the planet.
exactly! one thinkin human, finally!
@@filipebeat the economy needs to be changed to change the trade
I really truly love this work of yours. Thank you bringing awareness, freely !
$170 per month. In Uganda that is about 50% above the average income. Comparatively, I would imagine being a Ranger is a good, well paying job for these guys, though it be a very risky one as well. A needed job, those guys are awesome!
I love that they are poisoning the the horns they need to make it lethal to humans
Agree
I tought about that too but if they eat that shit they Will tell other people about how bad It was a dead man cant say that
Not necessarily. The people consuming rhino horns are living in truly desperate poverty, without access to effective medicine, hoping that these "traditional remedies" will cure their cancer or other serious ailments. A much better approach would be education that these methods don't work, easier access to medicine that does work, and measures to decrease poverty in general.
It's easy to assume anyone paying into this industry is evil, but that's not always the case. Humanitarian relief efforts would go a lot farther than poisoning villagers who have nothing.
Ah yes revenge the best solution to all problems
Chinese will still sell it as an aphrodisiac.
Germany has a great way to deal with this. It's called "Puma".
I'd love to see what thermal sights on a 20mm auto-cannon shooting at poachers could do. Also it's strong enough to withstand tank shots and supposidly has the ability to mount surface to air missiles.
Way too expensive for most wildlife reserves, in fact if Germany's economy gets hit too hard due to outside events (Ukraine war) I wouldn't surprised if Puma gets sold due to budget issues.
african probab;y cant afford it
African wildlife reserves do not have anywhere near close to enough money to buy, maintenance, buy ammo, and train men to use a fucking tank. If African countries wanted to protect wildlife with tanks they'd deploy militaries not park rangers.
Why would u kill a human when they just trying to kill animals? Lol
@@ericyoon5627 (Besides the dubious morality of driving animals to extinction in the name of capitalism) let's assume the only thing that matters is human life, destroying ecosystems by eradicating megafauna and other keystone species will inevitably lead to the death of humans down the line, so fighting poachers saves humans as well.
My favorite method of stopping poachers is lead. A very heavy dose of hot lead that’s wrapped in an elegant package of copper
Keep playing that movie in his cell again and again. He would go crazy from the sound alone.
The Elephants even evolved themselves to have no tusks just so poachers wouldn't hunt them for that reason
*tusks
Poachers don’t need trunks. The nose is worth nothing luckily.
It’s their tusks. And if all of them loose their tusks they will all die. Because males cannot have this tuskless genetic
That's actually wrong. There were always elephants without tusks. But when only the tuskless elepants breed (due to only the elephants with tusks being hunted), that causes a form of evolution. The one darwin was referring to. Survival of the fittest, only the fittest are those surviving humans this time.
They didn't evolve.... The males with smaller tusks that would not stand a chance against another bull with large tusks are the ones who are mating now. The big tusk males are just dying out due to poaching. Small tusks are the genetic variant that overpopulated the gene pool.
I’m sure this person meant no tusks. No trunks would be creepy bro.
Should have a new game called “hunt the poachers”. It will provide free transportation (but u have to provide ur own meals and guns and other stuff). Each captured poacher, dead or alive, will give u, say $1000.
Great video. Very informative. I've subscribed. Keep up the good work.
I don't know how but your basically the only channel I keep clicking videos from without even seeing who posted it.
The problem with de-horning is that sometimes the poachers will still kill the animal just so they don't end up tracking it again.
problem is they still sell da fuckin horn!
These long segments prove superior to the short versions. Although the shorts were also entertaining, these are informative plus educational.
“Only $170” What of it? There’s more to life than making money. 😂
It's amazing what people have accomplished in the war against poachers. Ideas I would NEVER would have guessed
Since this is a global issue, I think that the UN should have a poaching task force that includes platoons of soldiers from different countries on a rotating basis to get the numbers of groups protecting these great animals much higher.
UN is a joke, change my mind
I would play that game, funds go towards paying rangers, like a gurrula r6 seige
Your videos are great. I always learn something new when I watch them. Thanks for putting in the work and time to make them.
Okay so I may be a little bit high. But when he began the video and started talking about poacher hunters, and then showed a guy walking with a gun. I really thought for a moment there was an assassin group, going around eliminating poachers 😂
When I first heard that one of the mitigation techniques was to take the horn off I was shocked like "you have become what you swore to stop" and wondered if it would affect the animal. Glad to know my worry was misplaced.
Ive had real animal horns. BUT it was harvested from dead animals, that died from old age or illnesses. Ive always been for the protection of our wild animals as its their job to keep nature in balance. What most people dont understand that (almost) every animal has a purpose in nature (only ticks have ABSOLUTELY no use)
Ticks are food for pther animals hahah but except for that yes

It's not about the ivory
It's about the message
It's not about the ivory, ivory, ivory.

It ain't about the, uh, rhino rhino.
It ain't about the, yeah, rhino rhino.
We just wanna make the world dance, we don't care about the price tag.
"It's not about the ivory it's about the message"
And the message is, "Hey poachers! Now ivory is *even* *more* valuable for you to poach, because we destroy any we confiscate."
I can respect a hunter hunting for food, they're doing that so they can eat.
Poachers are not hunters, they don't support life, they only care for money, and do not care for the well being of others or ecosystems.
it seems to me that if you burn tones of the tusks it keeps the value of them higher due to low amounts on the market making poaching more profitable
I agree, but I believe this was the lesser of several evils.
Yeah it also seems to me that it would make poachers more money. You risk arrest, but greater risk often means greater reward
The issue with selling the ivory is it creates more demand. So more animals will be killed in the future. Best to burn it and send a message to the customers to stop wanting it.
But on the other hand, if they sell those tusk it would simply encourage buyers to buy them and w/o any risk at that, this could possibly raise the demand(humans are greedy creatures) and thus resulting in many others to be killed. Either way will have a negative effect and maybe burning is the lesser evil in this case.
sort of. but if you sell or gift them you sustain the market and maintain it's social value. if a person can say their ivory was the result of government seizure they can obscure the fact that they're a black market collector.
Can we take a moment to appreciate how much time and effort he puts in the videos for us 😇.
you mean they... they are more then one for sure
Damn another one
Why not go after the ones willing to pay this amount for rhino horns , ultimately that’s where the problem lies .
Awesome so satisfying to know it might be extreme to some people but it's not to say the species they are here for a reason like everybody else we wipe them out it becomes an unbalanced circle of life and I'm so grateful that people are taking that extreme to save a species because it's worth saving and I am so glad people are out there to care and makes you think that we are not so lost
when poaching rhino makes them 500k Us dollars richer and out of poverty vs being a ranger risking your life at $170 a month chasing flying bullets as you live in poverty. Which side would you take? because obviously these animal researchers or government officials ain't chasing the flying bullets of poachers, but sitting at their luxurious home and eating good with ac on as they wait for the good news or bad news reports only.
Well, it isn't the poachers that get 500k US $, it's what it is sold for, to the consumers.
Poachers get less per month, than rangers.
Manny rangers has been poachers, befor they got caught and sentenced, and therfor they now can fred and house their familly, what they couldn't do when farming and poaching.
@@hellefur7861 exactly what I was thinking. If a ranger only makes $170 a month, I'd say they probably poach themselves for more $.
Would your rather be a hard working citizen making maybe 100k dollars a day if your lucky or be a bank robber making 100,000s of dollars per robbery if not more. Obvious.
Edit: I meant every hour
I’m not poor
I'm sure they're likely to make more as a poacher than a ranger. The risk of death on both ends are still the same. it's depends on their own faith if they die today or get caught. Being chained up with made up rules and law under the greedy government do what the governments want or face consequences vs be free and do what they want with consequences. it's their choice to do what's best fit for their survival.
We caught him lads

A lot of the horns end up grinded into powder in China for sure...Also what, interfering to gorillas life too much if teaching them to recognize and dismantle traps made to kill or capture them? Like placing those traps down is not already well over the line as it is.
Yep, Eastern countries in generally believe in traditional medicine and do sometimes go too far. Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam all do it as well but China is def one of the bigger if not the biggest one

Install mini guns on the horns that can be remotely fired, idk how to make it not run out of ammo or teach the rhino to aim but 🤷🏻
I came across the fact somewhere that the heart of a giraffe is the size of a medium dog. Not sure if it's true or not, but it sounds likely since it's got that neck that it needs to pump blood up.
There is a way to fight poachers , mandatory deleting the poachers , in most those countries a poacher will get less than a yr. in prison if prosecuted at all.
I hope they can do something like this to protect Pangolins. It's not an Ant eatter about an armadillo but something that looks like a cute scale armoured pokimon.
It is the most pouched animal on the planet there where nine species.
There are still eight species left.
They are killed at an alarming rate of 2.million a year by pouches.
I'm afraid these cute pokimon creatures will disappear before most people even know they exsist.
Watch it everyday, 3 times a day.
The ivory demand will not fade. To insinuate such is a folly endeavor. I'm not pleased with this like anyone else, but it is a fact of the life we live in.
I agree, repurposing what would be illicit funding from ivory into the systems that protect and nurture the animals as well as give the caretakers better supplies and pay.
I’ve seen beautiful ivory carvings on display in Hong Kong, it’s so sad a beautiful animal was killed for it.
I don't think "reducing demand" is the actual reason.
But as far as I'm aware trading ivory is illegal to trade in most countries anyway.
That means if there is a ivory product for sale the buyer and the police immediately know it's illegal.
Now if you suddenly had a legal market for ivory again, it wouldn't be that clear anymore.
Poachers would just sell illegal ivory with fake certificates to people who believe they are buying legal ivory for a good cause.
That would make poaching a more profitable business again and at the same time make it harder for police to track down poachers.
PS: Actually, I guess that also does lower the demand for LEGAL ivory though.
Because if people know there is NO legal ivory to begin with, they will not try to buy such (and accidentally buy ivory from poachers)
Dude poatched for 3 years, got 1 year and watched Bambi. He got off way easy. No way he learned his lesson. Watching a movie that many times would make someone mentally numb. Stull like that doesn't work if the person doesn't have the mental empathy in the first place. He should have watched videos of kids losing their parents instead, starving families. In fact, I would have sent him to 3 years but for every deer he killed, if he had to volunteer for natural resources community service. 1 day for every deer. He would have to face the very people he screwed over. He would have to help rangers catch other poachers and see the damage it does. That would have had a greater effect.
Watching Bambi, my God. What idiot in court that that was a good idea.🙄 It doesn't work for those who don't care.
Excellent points, thank you. I do think capital punishment is a good choice too since they like killing let them see it from the perspective of the animal.
he was poaching whitetail deer not critically endangered species. Im not saying its right. js
@@garreksloan346 I understand. There are different levels for what is poached. I just wish it was all the same. That the courts didn't factor in endangerment and that you get in serious trouble regardless. Poaching is what leads to endangerment, stop it before the animal gets added to the list. Courts don't think like that.
He got off easy cause he was white. It’s white privilege
the love those people have to give their lives to save animals makes me wish more people loved people like that
You made a very Great video
I think it would be okay to teach the teens how to disable human traps. The teens probably saw what happened when they get caught and banded together to protect their family. Teaching this to some others may prevent a lot of injuries and death. Once you teach a few in each group you probably wouldn't need to keep doing so as gorillas will teach this to the young ones on their own. Especially the females as they have babies. They would teach what they were taught on how to avoid the, and likely teaching them when they are older to dismantle them. Same as they do already with many things. I understand not wanting to interfere so much but I'm pretty sure the traps do that already and cause a much bigger interference in their lives.

What needs to get done is a systematic crackdown on the market itself. There’s no reason those parts should be worth anything.
Sadly that's not how illegal marketplaces work. It's like trying to crack down on the drug trade; what ends up happening is that the drugs become more scarce, thus more valuable, thus the cartels that deal in them make even more money.
The best way to devalue the market is to try to make ivory more available with things like fake ivory, harvesting horns from live animals, and (crucially) sell confiscated ivory instead of destroying it. The criminals have already lost their product at that point, so destroying it doesn't hurt them in any way. In fact, it just makes ivory rarer, and more valuable for them to keep poaching.
I'd be curious if you cut and sold the horns and tusks directly to the person. Selling it cheaper than the black market and slowly eating away at their profit.
Plus you could get an active list of those who are interested in those commodities. Which could give away where they are buying it.
Not a great solution but it would be interesting to see if it crashes the market value of the substance
