Vets To Save African Wildlife but....

I really hope someone somewhere starts racking up a body count on these poaching piles of shit. The problem is money in Africa, and it's mostly being bought by the Chinese. No one cares about endangered species, when there are dollars to be made.

Rhino horn is worth more than cocaine in the Far East. $30,000 a pound.

That is insane.

That is insane.

Especially considering it does absolutely nothing for a human body.

I don't find her un attractive per se, but the issue is about the group using her (or any "tactical model" ) holding various hardware before ever stepping foot in Africa, bringing a film crew for a TV show, and making statements like "“We’re going over there to do some anti-poaching, kill some bad guys, and do some good.”

Fail squared. Chick with tats not really the issue per se.

She did turn it into a circus and was probably hoping to cash in on a reality TV show. I'm not even sure "save the animals" made her Top Ten priority list. I'm sure another problem was the idea of a "female" having authority (let alone discretion to kill) over males in Africa. That probably went over like a lead balloon. If anyone thinks there is a "War on Women" in this country, they really should go visit Africa and quite honestly most of the rest of the world.

Last year or so there was a TV show about this same thing. If I remember right there were 5-6 retired military guys on the show. They were a mix of operators from various branches of the military. I don't think it even lasted a season.

Just found it after a google search

Animal Planet's 2013 miniseries "Battleground: Rhino Wars,

What? She's not an operator? But...but...she's got lots of tattoos with...like, frightening skulls and stuff. I mean, the article made it sound like she's the first female graduate of Ranger School and used a Brillo Pad for a tampon during Jungle Phase.

Truth be told, than Tanzanian government did the right thing. These jokers were far more likely to get themselves or some innocent civilian killed than bag any bad guys.

Guys, I got to tell you, as an old guy, who got a couple tats at age 18 when I was in the Marines, she ain't going to look good in 20 years.

I'm not sure where 20 years comes into play......she doesn't look good right now.
