    PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) — Officials say a game ranger at South Africa's flagship Kruger National Park has been arrested in connection with rhino poaching.

    National parks Chief executive David Mabunda said the ranger was arrested Monday and had been linked to previous incidents of rhino poaching in the park.

    South Africa has deployed soldiers in Kruger to help rangers confront an upsurge in poaching supported by international syndicates that killed 333 rhino last year.

    This year 227 rhino and 15 alleged poachers have been killed, and 131 suspects have been arrested as the price of rhino horn surpasses gold.

    Most rhino horn is destined for China and Vietnam for use in traditional medicine, though scientists say it has no medicinal value.

      You know what, I would like to just once beat the crap out of just one of these knuckle heads who are entrusted in guarding these endangered animals and then betraying that trust. You son-of-a#$%$

        Beating them won't do any good. They should strip them down give him no weapon and let the Rhino and him duel it out. Think he will be so tough then.

      China again, huh? All their wealth and they still resort to decimating animal population. Why do we support this country by buying all their crap?

      For every rhino killed, execute a Chinese politician.

      David Mabunda (also known as farmer killer in the good old days) the token National Parks Chief Executive (fourth grade education, but a good ex terrorist) said earlier yesterday that they should shoot that kaffir who shot the rhino.

      kinda sounds like many of our politicians. They get into office, then they are bought off by the lobyists. Greed and selfishness prevail and integrity is sold to the highest bidder.
