A suspected poacher was killed by an elephant in a South African game reserve before his remains were eaten by a pack of lions, according to investigators.

The man was with a group of several other suspected poachers Monday when the elephant attacked and killed him in Kruger National Park in northeast South Africa, the country's police agency said. The other poaching suspects told police that they left the man's body on a road before leaving the park, hoping that passers-by would locate his remains in the morning.

I am opposed to (illegal) poaching. But as I eat animal (and plant life) from super markets and stores, I am not opposed to the legal hunting of non-endangered species, culturally used for human consumption (not pets such as cats, dogs, hamsters, etcetera). I am not opposed to moral, ethical, farming (not pets such as cats, dogs, hamsters, etcetera) .

I am also not a cannibal, nor do I support cannibalism.

(I also do not use cannabis.)

Have to admit, sort of an ironic story...
