    Poachers Threaten More Than Just Our Wildlife

    July 24, 2013 /

    Not only are wildlife criminals heavily armed and extremely dangerous, the threat of violence from poachers is not limited to the slaughter of animals. Recently, the gruesome murder of a young man in Maungu Ranch has put an entire community on edge.
