Ashame Obama's Kenyan pirate brothers can't shoot some of the useless eastern poachers...

Stupid people. It always infuriates me to see these kind of things. I always wonder if there is a place in hell for the ignorant or those who purposely seek profits over the existence of a species.

This is terrible the only affective way to stop this is through awareness. Never purchase endangered species, and help educate people, especially those who don't care.
