    no, fuck murder.

    Don’t get me wrong, fuck poachers, but murder is never the solution, it just breeds escalated violence.

      Actually they tried the normal way, where they didn’t shoot and asked the poachers to surrender / tried to arrest them. But the rangers would get shot and the animals would continue to get poached.

      Seeing this as a problem, a new executive order / law was passed allowing shoot at sight orders at national parks / protected zones.

      Poaching has reduced, the number of rangers getting shot has reduced. The number of poachers getting shot has reduced (they don’t wanna fuck around anymore).

      Overall it has increased peace.

      Murder is bad, but humans are the problem. And humans being stupid chaotic creatures, it often devolves in to dirty things like killing. You can say all you want about right and wrong but this is a messy situation and this is the solution they have been forced in to using, after trying the peaceful method for years

      It’s not murder, it’s legal punishment. The poachers use gun violence against rangers, so it’s a reasonable escalation.

        It clearly says “on sight”

        You don’t want to wait for them to shoot first, you just want to murder them.

        No society on earth considers shooting on sight to be legal punishment

      Endangered-animal lives are much more precious to me than humans-who-are-willing-to-murder-endangered-animals lives, so I disagree.
