"the survivor"...(damned poachers)
last february i have been very lucky to meet as first car a wild dog pack sleeping on a kruger road.i got photos with an unusual and exceptional low angle.
the wild dog (lycaon pictus) is a really endangered animal and looking on the photos i just found one that really disappoint me...the face of this beautiful dog is marked from a metal snare.those snares are used in massively in the kruger from poachers.fortunatly this time the snare (normally used to hunt antelopes for bushmeat) has closed in the face of the animal and not on the neck.so the dog has been able to escape.thousands of animals are catched from poachers with this deadly snares.it is a non selective trap.every kind of animal can remain trapped.
lions ,leopard and others die in the snares after hours of terrible pain and suffering...elephants can loose a leg.
the rangers many time must kill the injured animal,
but sometimes they kill the poachers........
the damned poachers!
