A HORRIFYING drone picture shows a mutilated elephant lying dead after being a hacked apart with a chainsaw by poachers.
Sullivan, from Cape Town, South Africa, captured the image after overhearing rangers talking about the carcass while in Botswana for a film project."On arrival I used a drone to capture the image. Sullivan added: “People have obviously reacted with mixed feelings of anger and sadness, especially with the recent lift on the hunting ban in Botswana, but this photo has driven some constructive dialogue around how we can promote more sustainable elephant conversation and solve our current ecological crisis.
The poachers were tracked down and arrested with help from the wildlife law and enforcement group Eagle Network, which monitors the illegal wildlife trade across sub-Saharan Africa.Perrine Odier, a coordinator for Eagle’s partner agency Palf in Congo, said the photos were likely keepsakes for the poachers for their own personal pride.
“As an activist, I feel a lot of helplessness and sadness. I console this sadness by telling myself that in prison he will not be able to kill other elephants, so I think we may have saved lives all the same. In June alone the Eagle Network helped in the arrests of 22 wildlife contraband traffickers, in four countries, with 18 of those men dealing in ivory.Despite a ban on the international trade in ivory, African elephants are still being poached in large numbers.The ivory is often carved into ornaments and jewellery – China is the biggest consumer market for such products.
Bastards that’s heartbreaking 😡

Mutilated elephant with its tusks and trunk cut off by ivory poachersA mutilated African elephant was killed for its tusks by ivory poachers and abandoned in northern Botswana, where poaching is rapidly on the rise following the lifting of a ban on hunting the animals. 😭 And why was the ban lifted - money, ffs! Stand up and sort this shit out. If the country needs more Rangers - I am ex british infantry trained (rifleman), and would happily join one of their units to help these animals! There - thrown down the gauntlet.... 🤬 and 💔

Poachers pose with a slaughtered elephant and its severed tusksThe photographs revealed a group of six poachers standing over a dead elephant in Congo. Two of the men were arrested after being found with four ivory tusks worth thousands of pounds. Tie the pricks to a tree in lion country and wait out. One day I’ll be president and I’m sending US troops all over the world to capture, torture and kill poachers. For every poacher killed, the platoon will be paid a hefty commission. Vote for me.
