Kenya Rangers Kill Three Elephant Poachers

Three suspected elephant poachers have been killed, four firearms recovered and five elephants killed in two separate incidents in Kenya during the past week. The Kenya Wildlife Service says more suspects are on the run in both incidents.

In the latest incident last night, Kenya Wildlife rangers gunned down a suspected poacher in a fierce exchange of fire on the outskirts of Meru National Park in Isiolo County.

You want to hunt an elephant in a reserve, get some decency  and hunt with a spear as your forefathers did since forever. Take some risk, will ya?  Or die as a   dog  while we have a standing ovation. Shooting elephants with AK-47.. Rangers should have taken you alive and throw  in the midst of  an elephant herd.

"A major operation is underway this morning to arrest other suspects on the run. They are believed to have sustained injuries from last night's shoot-out," says KWS spokesman Paul Udoto.
Two AK 47 rifles and 30 rounds of ammunition were recovered in the incident at Moliti area, 10 kilometers from Kinna Trading Centre in Garbatulla District, Isiolo County.
