This is just sickening.

It definitely is.

Was the Conservationist found turned over on his back and baked in the sun?

After all, he was a -Turtle- Conservationist.

People do that to snapping turtles,seems like a horrible way to die.
I wish there was a bounty on poachers that made them worth more dead than the species they are harvesting.
I guess it's a good thing I'm not filthy rich,my soul (if I have one),would be endangered,because I would hire mercenaries to deal with the turtle poachers.
If the poachers are armed, then you have to fight fire with fire.If a few of them are found trussesed up like a turkey they might think twice about those eggs.
I'm a peaceful person,but I would have no guilt what soever about shooting one of those bastards in the leg if I saw them digging up a nest.

Are these turtles carnivorous? If so, we can tie up the perpetrators, and leave them on the beach to be eaten!

^^^We can recruit alligators for that,they like loggers so a poacher would be just as tasty.

It's not just the poachers, something should be done against the people who eat this stuff. Same with the superstitious idiots who buy ground tiger dicks or rhino horns to enhance their own penis instead of using viagra.
(the horns aren't really used for that, but they are used for "traditional medicine" --> quackery)

I wish they would choke on what they are consuming.
Someone should start a rumor that poacher testicles are the ULTIMATE aphrodisiac.

Wait,a good idea!We have to get a rumor going that Westboro Baptists are the ultimate aphrodisiac,the poachers can take out the Westies! Their Holy blood will cure ALL illness and make you hard as a rock and fertile as a young Billy goat.

A rhino horn is worth about $100,000 per kg. Put that same price on poacher's heads, and they will come rolling in... we would have poachers poaching poachers.
Sadly, as long as people are willing to pay enormous amounts of money for something, it will be sold. Add to that habitat destruction and climate change, and things aren't looking so good.

i guess the Hare won that round
