Or kharma, for that matter.
Mmmm. Rhino korma.
Wonder what Rhino tastes like
Horned beef?
I was thinking it would taste more piggy. They look closer to pigs than cows. They are distant relatives of the horse though so there is an outside chance that they’ll taste a bit like Tesco value lasagna from 2013
I assume they taste a lot like stegosaurus, which I remember trying at Kubla Khan's Mongolian Barbeque Restaurant in Leith in 2004. Quite chewy. Still nicer than the bloody shark.
I draw the line at not laughing at death when the person doesn’t die under piss funny or ironic circumstances. If you can’t see the humour in this I honestly pity you.
You spent too much time listening to Alanis Morissette when you were growing up.
Wait, you're not American are you?
Either way you should definitely have your irony meter checked.
I didn’t say that this particular death was ironic. Funny though (not for the poacher obviously).
No. Are you American? I ask, because Americans are always said to not understand irony.
You clearly don’t understand irony.
Or kharma, for that matter.
I fully understand irony and kharma. I also understand casual racism.
What I don't understand is why people value a rhino above a cow and judge the murderers of the animals differently.
Would you all be glad that a beef farmer was trampled to death by cows (still has an element of kharma)

Current world population of domestic cattle: 1.4 Billion.
Current world population of Northern White Rhinoceros: 2
And we'd probably still think it was funny if a cattle rustler got trampled by cows then eaten by coyotes.

Morality, you're doing it wrong.
I value a rhino above not only a cow but also above any human who would kill a rhino. Hope that makes you feel better. I'd also value the life of a cow above the life of someone who would attack and disable it and then maybe chop bits out of its head with a machete while its still alive.
For the record I'm not against hunting deer for food or killing cows and chickens for meat (although I would demand they are treated decently), but I am against killing bluefin tuna for money, rhinos for horn, elephants for tusks, and giant tortoises for buckets (I hope thats not a thing).
Some of these things are not like the others, and proudly building yourself a fundamentalist moral maze is not convincing anyone of your moral superiority (as demonstrated here).
Pretty much anytime a person gets eaten by animals, it's funny.
Current world population of Northern White Rhinoceros: 2
So I could eat one without making them (immediately) extinct...
good news. Karma in action. I do not understand who buys this stuff. It's just awful.

Yes, yes we would 👍🏼

The irony being if Rhinos were tastier than cows those numbers would be reversed.
For many medium/Large animals the reality on this overcrowded planet is that if mankind doesn't want want to eat you, extinction is on the cards.
In contrast to sea creatures where it's the other way round.

Not trying to be morally superior. I just don't value one animal above another. Animals and plants go extinct all the time and nobody cares about them but a rhino is different? Sorry just don't get it, nothing to do with morality and more about hypocrisy and falsely valuing animals based on what you want to do with them. Eating good, using horn bad - end result dead animal
The gloating is interesting given how left this place generally is.
There's no glass ceiling in the Overton Window.
I'm not sure that the simple act of 'gloating' is politically partisan.
Leaning 'left' or 'right', love of animals may momentarily unite two people via a good sesh of gloaty gloating?
At least until pause then begin pointing fingers at each other for being 'hypocritical'
'And they're off...'

His own fault. It says he was trying to breed with it...
Seriously though, cassowaries are the bad tempered T-Rex of the bird world. No way would I want to upset one. They'll catch you, even on the bike, and lay you open.
This is how it begins......
First the lions, then the massive chickens. Before you know it
And it will still be really funny
