This picture made me sick to my stomach and my heart aches for all the animals that get poached. One day the animals will revolt. One day. How horrible.

DEATH TO ANY ONE WHO COULD DO THIS TO AN ANIMAL. THAT IS THE ONLY JUSTICE THAT IS ABLE TO FIT THIS CRIME. HOW IN THE WORLD CAN ANY LIVING SOUL DO THIS TO A LIVING CREATURE IS BEYOND MY COMPREHENSION.

This is such a horrific thing BUT at least little by little the scum responsible for these terrible acts are being punished more and more.

I hope the subhuman zero who did this rots slowly in jail for a very long time. But then I hope other poachers get caught too, and suffer the same sentence or worse. These people have nothing inside, they´re cold to the core and have no soul, they´re like robots, no feelings, no conscience. Rot, you SCUMBAG!!! The poor angel in the photo, my God, it tears my soul.................

Thanks Jacqueline... very sadly noted.

Can´t believe it... I´ve just spent about half an hour or longer (I´m obviously not very good at this) looking for a good, solid petition against this kind of stuff, with a proper target etc, but cannot find one! Yes, you get many results if you look in Google etc, but just trying to filter the weak or not properly-set-up, or inactive or old ones takes forever! If anyone knows of one, please post it here (it´s what I was going to do, but... and now I have to rush). Thanks!!
