Vegetarians/vegans - What do you think of this?!

They broke the law and were acting in a terrorist fashion, they got shot. It was their own damn fault. They shouldn't have done what they were doing, they knew that. most people if they actually thought about it, without all the B.S. we get fed about how animals are our property and we should exploit them whenever we want, would understand that as well.

I see no problem with a murderer getting murdered, it's just karma hitting you back. You want good karma you got to do good things and poaching has never been a good thing.

vegan because animals are not property

It's irrelevant whether you're vegetarian or nor when answering this question. Human being and a threatened species are being killed - Nothing to do with the diet preferences of unrelated people but everything to do with educating people about rhino powder myths and providing sustainable and profitable jobs to would-be poachers.

im assuming youre talking about humans dying because of other people trying to protect animals.

poaching is illegal. Its not a secret, and the poachers know this. Whenever you do something illegal, especially when it has to do with GUNS, theres always a chance you are gonna get caught or shot. People know this going in... but money and greed are stronger forces.

What if these poachers were bank robbers, and they got caught in a shooting with police? Isnt it the same exact thing? Why does it have to be human vs animal? I see it as illegal vs keeping the order.

I think it's a little funny that their bosses are happy about them killing someone. But also, good riddance. You don't HAVE to kill rhinos for their horns. Their horns are actually like a hair, and unlike elephant tusks, they'll grow back. Goes to show that poachers don't go to skoolz.

What do I think of what? Criminals?
They were armed and breaking the law. Criminals don't get shot when they put down their weapons and surrender.

Sorry but I fail to see why you address your question to vegans and vegetarians.
