At least three suspected poachers have been mauled to death and eaten by lions after breaking into a wildlife reserve in South Africa.

The men entered the Sibuya Game Reserve on the southeast coast armed with a rifle with a silencer, wire cutters and an axe, and had food supplies "for a number of days", said reserve owner Nick Fox.

He said they bore "all the hallmarks of a gang intent on killing rhino and removing their horns".

The men broke in in the early hours of Monday and their remains were found the following day.

Mr Fox said one of the reserve's anti-poaching dogs had alerted her handler that something was amiss.

The handler heard a loud commotion coming from the lions but this is not uncommon, Mr Fox said.

As it was still dark, they investigated after sunrise.

Mr Fox said it was not clear exactly how many of the men there were, as there was "not much left of them".

"Clearly, the poachers had walked into a pride of six lions and some, if not all had been killed," he said.

The reserve is still open to guests.

The South African government estimates 1,028 rhinos were illegally killed in 2017.


The handler heard the lions. Wonder if he also heard screaming and thought, oh well.

Lions kill by crushing the windpipe and suffocating their prey. I wonder if they do this while they killing humans. If so, there would be no screaming. And it would be terrifying.

Im not sure what kind of firepower 3 people would need for 6 lions. Probably a lot.

Think about it. Those lions are probably shitting those poachers out right now. If not, they are sitting in lion excrement right now somewhere in Africa.

we're supposed only to look at wildlife from a safe distance. not to enter territory or suffer dire consequences.
yet we humans don't seem to heed the warning very well despite this encounter with poachers.

I read an article about this on a different site and it said the only remains the rangers found were a skull and part of a pelvis. They only know there were 3 poachers because they found 3 pairs of shoes.

Good. Thats what they get.

I firmly believe that untamed bits of land, such as jungles, oceans, and deserts are in some ways alive. If you go out there disrespecting nature, something like this happens.

Its like Heart of Darkness.
