  Little late for them, unfortunately
context: Finally some positive news >
  
  Probably the only positive news from 2022 >
  
  Wel you forgot about all those record corporate profits >
  
  I work for a corporate company called Walmart! Thanks Walmart! >
  
  Awesome job! Now do elephants! >
  
  Ok but I'll need a ladder. >
  
  My elephant is JRHNBR >
  
  Hopefully we can start getting the Javan rhinos back to where they should be as well. >
  
  Are they even still around? I did a report on them over 10 years ago and they were critically endangered at that point (I remember there being approximately 30ish left in the wild) >
  
  Largely due to government policy of shoot at site for poachers. Poachers got poached while they tried to hunt rhinos… >
  
  Are poachers KOS? If so great >
  
  Yes, they are. >
  
  What kind of year was this for poachers getting killed? >
  
  I suppose when there are a handful left it's easier to protect them all? >
  
  2900 is definitely more than a handful >
  
  1 is also more than a handful of rhino, unless you have MASSIVE hands. >
  
  What about 2 ? >
  
  2 is fine.  2 rhinos cancel each other out, meaning neither exist. >
  
  At least one good thing became of 2022 >
  
  Well done! Indian conservationists take your Bow, you have earned it. >
  
  They should sell tickets where a guide will take you out hunting rhino poachers. I'd pay good money for that. >
  
  You also have gun happy mercs with carte blanche permission decimating the poacher population >
  
  I really needed to hear something like this!!!  Hope springs eternal!!!!! >
  
  This isn’t even a “at least it’s lower than before,” this is a total positive article. Great. >
  
  They'll live long enough to die from climate change! >
  
  zero northern white rhinos were poached since 2018 too >
  
  Was Donald Trump Jr. busy blowing up elephants with dynamite? >
  
  I'm so confused how this has anything to do with the topic at hand >
  
  I think they're alluding to the fact that Don jr has gone on hunting trips to hunt endangered species. >
  
  Next year “okay, we’re allowing you to kill 5 Indian rhinos because of last years success” >
  
  Don’t be pessimistic for no reason.  Sport hunting is 100 percent illegal in India. They’re proof that it is entirely possible to preserve wildlife without that shit. >
  
  I mean a lot of the threatened animals in India are seen as holy cuz of Hinduism, like elephants for example. So your comment makes sense >
  
  Even when the animals aren’t sacred they do a good job. When Jodhpur was full of aggressive rhesus macaques (the worst monkey), the government didn’t kill them, they just brought in larger and more chill grey langurs to scare them away >
  
  What did they introduce to drive off the langurs? >
  
  Oh that's easy, when winter comes around they freeze to death >
  
  Oh, thats good to hear. Nice to see conservation efforts actually paying off. >
  
  I feel like this is the kind of new that should not be reported for obvious reasons. >
  
  Poachers: Hold my beer. >
  
  Another W for Conservatives! >
  
  What about all those poor suffering independent rhino horn entrepreneurs that pulled themselves up by their bootstraps, murdering one endangered creature at a time, where will they be left without a natural resource to plunder entirely for their own profit? >
  
  What needs to happen to preserve an endangered species is a cull of the species that is presenting the greatest threat. Wolves and feral hogs are regularly culled. In this case, humans must be culled. Trapping should be effective!  Haha >
  
  If you're trying to catch big game hunters, prosthetic dicks make pretty good bait. >
  
  The way the rhino looks so smug in this picture makes me want to poach it so bad >
  
  Look at that smug rhinos face… he’s asking for it >
  
  I didn't even know there were Indian rhinos. >
  
  Also black rhinos... Because they went extinct recently... >
  
  I wonder if it has anything to do with demand, Rhinos are hunted primarily for their horns  which older generations believe has medicinal use or sexual use (aphrodisiac).  With covid and even just natural death the amount of people who actually believe this pseudoscience are diminishing. >
  
  I knew I could get away with it >
  
  But how many Dodos were needlessly slaughtered?
