Idk how anyone could do such a thing to a rhino like the one they showed in the beginning of the video. How could you do that to an innocent animal ? It's just so nasty and cruel. So much respect to these guys 🥰👍
just that opening scene, prosthetic leg and still tough as nails with a good heart. tell you what, i would NOT want to cross this team...or their dog, just pass on that. there are so many damn good vets out there, it's great to see this in action. keep up the great work fellas--semper gumby!
@@biconscious doubt he got anywhere there was an animal plant show battleground rhino wars and they were all retired navy seals and id say most to all going over there to fight the poachers are all former military
Watch this and I had no idea of the work you do. I have the utmost respect and good wishes for your future health safety and endeavours. As a group of vets you have cemented my faith in humanity and your outstanding group of men. Your parents brought you up correctly and they must be immensely proud of you. Well done guys.
What amazing awesome people. This is so inspiring and really eye opening. Makes me think... what can I do, like these people, to actively make the world a better place. From defending their country...to protecting the animals....Its really touching and inspiring!! Thank you all for what you are doing.
Actually, let's make the poachers tell all the names of the rich fucks in Asia and around the planet, who hired them to kill these beautiful animals. Then let's go after the rich cowards and feed them some lead... in full auto 😁.
+Real Stories, thank you for yet another outstanding video. UTMOST respect for Vetpaws, if I were financially solvent they would get every speck of my loose change. Maybe there's hope for mankind after all.
Thank God there's sensible folks like you guys out there doing one fine deed! Seriously! I'm a hunter. But I'm also a conservationist first and foremost. It would be a true-life sin against humanity and the future of there-of. Please keep doing your best guys! Thank you
True RESPECT for this group! When they showed video of rhino with its face cut off it brought me to tears. Please keep doing what your doing & stay safe! 🦏🦓🐆🐕🐘🐐🐆
Scum bags are warped people control be warped freaks unlike the beautiful and strong vet paws. China will kill for ivory to make a piano key they also will eat anything on their legs even a table.
Awesome story, thats the right way to deal with poachers. I do have deep respect for these vets, they are my heroes. They should receive every possible support.
Sadly, It's a bit like the "war on drugs". Battling a bunch of unemployed poachers, while the demand for rhino horn counts 1.2 billion chinese with growing wealth to spend on silly traditional remedies.
i agree that's a good analogy comparing it the the war(s) on drugs, and yes, a societal shift needs to happen for legitimate change--but if these guys can help even 1% that's something, in my book. i say good on these fellas, i hope they are able to grow and continue their work.
They've already got the technology to clone these animals. Extinction isn't the problem. The real threat to these animals comes from global warming. If things continue the way they are, much of the African continent (as too many parts of the world) will be uninhabitable for mammals in another 20 years.
@@zebrazxx No need to apologise although I thank you and accept it. Well its not so much about worrying as one way or another, those animals are going to be going bye bye as too most large mammals there including humans within the next century. The problem with humans is that they've become so arrogant they actually think they can beat nature. They actually believe for example, that global warming is all down to humans and that there's no such thing as cycles which is essentially saying they don' believe there's been ice ages/hot periods in the past.. I could reverse this and claim that liberals are this way but there goes hehe. If mankind along with the animal kingdom is to survive in the long term then it will be by cloning mate.
Deep regards and many thanks for your selflessness!! I wish there was a word greater than Thank You, because thank you is not enough. May God protect you, for what you protect is priceless!!
Thank you Vet Paw for all of your commitment and dedication to preserve these beautiful animals against these criminals. How is Vet Paw organization funded?
If I ruled the world every poacher would suffer the wrath they have put on animals they’ve slaughtered. Please people protect our wildlife and do as much as you can to stop this mass extinction!
These guys seem to really do a good job here. They recognise that they need to be humble and show respect and understanding towards the local people, making it clear that they realise that they are guests in their lands and want to listen and learn from them. That they are not just trying to come in and run things. Also explaining to them how while yes poaching might feed their family today, but in the long run, it will destroy their childrens livelihood and chances to succeed because without these animals, nobody will come to their communities. Their wildlife is the key to their success, and that what poachers are doing is killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. I'm so glad that the person at 11:15 was able to understand this, and i have nothing but respect for that person for revealing other poachers. He was able to see that what he was doing was destroying the livelihoods of his children and grandchildren. Good for him for admitting the error of his ways, and to the man who made him see it.
Drones would be better than noisy Helicopters to alert the should-be-dead-Poachers & their buyers. Much respect to the Veterans. 50k thumbs up. If no info gained from a Poacher then zzzzz.
I hate whenever I see human hunters kill, I enjoy whenever I see human's kindness to animals, and feel incredible happy whenever I see a real freedom for animals, and justice relations between humans ♥️👍
Its absolutely ridiculous that they have had to de-horn lots of those rhino's even though its to protect there lives but its still hard to fathom! Its true what that one veteran said about once the animals are gone its gonna kill a huge part if not all of there tourism!!! I hope they have continued success year after year!!
Its crazy I have posted my experience fighting poachers and the world meets me with comments as if it is impossible people aren't here to do good type comments. My thoughts these are people who couldn't do much in life and are left wondering if their lives had meaning. I dont worry about that at all. Awesome to see others stories and experiences. Makes me reminisce on the past quite a bit.
@@ryantate7048 it's ridiculous, the news, the people all of it, they focus on the most inconsequential things but when it comes to things like this which actually matter, we don't hear a peep of it.
The northern white rhino is already extinct. Southern white rhino is right behind them. When you offer a starving man the equivalent of 3 years salary (could he even find a job) - he is willing to lose his life to feed his family. Stop the buyers - and you stop the poaching. Nobody is killing these magnificent animals for dinner.
Kate Mwariri actually the southern white rhinos population has continued to increase over the years. Your thinking of the black rhino though even that animal if I'm not mistaken is on the rise.
What does that clown mean South Africans arent militarily adept? King Shaka only revolutionized the way war was fought on the entire continent and his predecessor only gave the british their most humiliating defeat in all their history!
Wouldn't Night Ops be more effective if you didn't drive around with your lights on? Wouldn't it be more effective if you had Night Vision Goggles or Cameras to monitor poachers most used routes? I'm not saying what they're doing is wrong or bad or improper. I'm just asking if they do that or not. (It'd seem more effective anyways) All in all. Thank you, this is truly noble what you're doing. Keep at it.
In order to fix poaching in Africa, there needs to be a structural reform across the continent. As long as there are a mass desperate people in Africa, poaching and many other crimes will be eternity.
There is a way of stopping poachers - have the supply far exceed the demand. Scientists need to find a way of growing keratin horns, then make them look like rhino horns and sell them en masse on the market. Rhino horns are about $50,000 a kilo, so if people can produce perfect replicas for like $500, poaching will stop being profitable.
So much respect to these guys giving their life to saving these animals. Can't say I love them enough.

Brilliant! I feel so thankful for guys like those, protecting helpless animals from cruel (or sometimes just very desperate) people .
But why they only employ and show black people being cuffed??

Let’s start poaching the poachers
James Odom tie each of their limbs to a four elephants and make the run in different directions

ive always dreamed of shooting a poacher lol

Not to be rude but how can someone be Both a hunter of animals and a conservationist?
You kill animals when there's no need to. You're the same as poachers, maybe the difference is you don't kill animals near extinction.

One day i am coming to join you, this has been always a mission i felt i was made to be in
We are just guests on this planet
It’s theirs not ours
I could not agree more. We should both go and do this.
Can I also volunteer? Do you have their contact details
Clyde Ceniza just try googling for them and I bet a website will come up!

If all countries did more to combat poaching it could be stopped but it falls down to heroes like these guys.
Send new recruits out as part of thier training. Be good skills to learn. Thanks for this video and efforts

These guys have done/ do everything that I plan on doing.
These are real heroes fighting real fights w real meaning in life!
Yeah you guys are so young and virile... God bless... the lowlifes would rip anyone or anything off...
I wonder if these poachers would like their faces cut off like that? You guys should find out from them, see how they feel about it.
Very noble of them.
Rewatch this every so often great work. Cause when the animals die the whole nation dies with them
