Al Shabaab, a group linked to Al Qaeda, is said to be funding their training and attacks by selling elephant and rhino horns on the Somalian black market – a trade worth £12billion a year. In the past year, 60 wardens and 38,000 elephants have been killed by Muslim illegal poachers.
UK Daily Mail (h/t TROP) In an initiative backed by Prince Charles and Prince William, 25 soldiers from 3rd Batallion Parachute Regiment have been sent to train Kenyan rangers.
The paratroopers, currently based 200 miles north of Nairobi, will spend the coming weeks teaching the Kenyan Wildlife Service, Kenyan Forestry Service and Mount Kenya Trust to patrol better, work more effectively as a team, and how to tackle poachers.
The Government has also arranged for a British prosecutor to also advise her Kenyan counterparts in a bid to cripple terrorist funding in North Africa and protect the endangered species.
Environment secretary Owen Paterson, who was in Kenya last week, said: ‘Illegal poaching is having a devastating effect on some of the world’s most iconic species.
‘By joining forces with those on the frontline in Kenya, our armed services will be able to provide training and support to the courageous people who put their lives on the line every day.’
Earlier this year, Prince William urged leaders to take on illegal poachers to ‘determine the fate of some of the world’s most captivating species.’ He said failure to do so would be ‘a catastrophe’.
Brigadier Duncan Francis, the UK’s defence attache in Nairobi, said: ‘This is an excellent example of the British Army taking positive action on an issue close to many people’s hearts.
‘The 25 soldiers will be making an immense contribution to securing the future of some of the world’s most endangered species.’ As the price of ‘blood ivory’ – illegally poached tusks – soars in Africa, gangs have developed new techniques to slay animals, such as poisoning watering holes.
Al Shabaab is believed to be one of the key groups behind the increasing figures. The terrorist clan earns £400,000 a month in the trade – enough to pay their jihadists £75 a week, the Sunday Express reported.
In a bid to quash the business, Hillary Clinton unveiled an $80 million plan to tackle elephant poaching in September. She warned that money from the wildlife crime could have funded the attack on the Westgate shopping mall in Kenya last month, a theory which is backed by elephant conservation groups.
Rhinos are also highly sought after in the trade. Sellers are now said to be pricing single rhino horns higher than its weight in cocaine.
Last month the Kenyan government said every rhino in the country would have a microchip implanted in its horn to help stop the trade.

Simple rad muzzie philosophy, kill what is innocent and basically helpless. Nothin but a bunch of prehistoric fucks. Act and smell like a caveman. Actually, a caveman had better social and living skills I would guess. God will catch up with you murdering bastard. Guaranteed.

OMFG!!! so inhumane. These beautiful creatures, slaughtered and butchered…. if this keeps up sooner or later these creatures would be extinct…

Warring against nature or the environment to promote terrorism is not new. During the 1960s and increasing during the 1970s… Marxist terrorists in Rhodesia waged all out battles against this nations wildlife. Of special targets were large mammals like rhinoceros and elephants. This was done for various reasons.
One to scare aware tourists from Rhodesian safaris and national park lodges and thus adversely affect the economy. Scare away or kill Park Rangers who many times acted more like soldiers in dealing with the terrorists who hid out in National Parks. Bring despair to the average Rhodesian citizen as their national parks and well cared for conservation programs and wildlife were immense sources of national pride. To use rhino horns and elephant ivory as valuables to fund communist insurgencies and acts of terror in Rhodesia.
Now it is muslims who are doing this (which islam has a MUCH LONGER HISTORY of warring on nature than any communist group ever did). However, there are some differences.
Even with the MSM in the 1970s viewing that communists and “freedom fighting Marxists against apartheid” could do no wrong… there were still segments of the left media who rallied against the slaughter of Rhodesian wildlife.
Oh, by the way… Rhodesia never had “apartheid” but that was lost on the media of the 1970s. Just how present day Israel IS NOT a genocide committing state even though the MSM likes to portray it as such,.
Now, the MSM is so under the sway of islamization and fear so much of being called islamophobic… there is little protest against the present day “slaughter animals to promote terrorism” actions of Islamists.
Also, these muz terrorists will not hesitate to kill park rangers, scientists, tourists or common native villagers they would come across. Same for any ranchers or farmers whose properties may be adjunct to parklands… and which wildlife will sometimes cross over and onto private owned land.
Terrorists will follow the animals and wary to any farm employee or family member that comes across them. This type of thing has and does happen.
Muzlims have brought about the extinction or near extinction of other animal species. Looks like rhinos and elephants are next on that list.

Where was Prince William and Prince Charles when Lee Rigby was cut down ?
They were conspicuously silent then !
When the Queen dies , the throne should go to Prince Harry ! The only prince to have served AGAINST the muzzies in shitistan !j
BareNakedIslam says
digger, I agree with you. Harry knows what muslims are.

Yes Muslims have so much to answer for – they even have the right to cut the throats of poor animals in the UK without stunning first. They are ignorant and medieval people that still think women should cover up to the eyeballs, even on the hottest days. I have no problem with any religion as long as they don’t hurt animals and treat women like possessions.
dragonfFIRE01 says
this ‘religion’ really needs to be destroyed as a crime against all life
Pavelina says
They’re sending only 25 soldiers? That doesn’t seem like enough.
I hope they can stop this slaughter before the elephants are all gone. When they catch the demonic perps, start by pulling all their teeth ….

This is why we need to joined as one nation under God!
Susan K says
Somalis – all part of the same fucked-up genetic pool. Finally, somebody to help these poor and gentle creatures, the elephants.
Ileana Carmen Carare says
I raise my hat to the people fighting these monstruous crimes! stricter laws against poachers should exist. maximal penalty should be the very least these criminals should be facing!
Hadenoughalready says
Being an economic “cheap-skate”, I say shoot them.
Why spend money on trials, and jail when a 25 cent bullet can save hundreds of thousands in financial burden.
Just shoot them where they are found and let nature take it’s course, (jackals need to eat too).
southern knight says
think outside the square close down any business that sells ivory products and that will force the price of ivory down.As for poachers Helicopter gunships tend to reduce there numbers .Corruption is allowing the ivory to be sold and should be easily traced to how the ivory is being traded and by whom.Live fire training suggested for the rangers.

Satans cult strikes again.

I have said it once and I will say it again.
Muslims are destroyers.
They deliberately sully and destroy everything that is (beautiful) around them.

I have to quit thinking in my head how many other ways these muzzi scumbags can destroy any and all things in this world. very sad story I heard recently the western black rhinos are no more.
Linda Rivera says
MURDERERS!

Someone should tell the Mozzies that the elephant is a member of the PIG family and maybe then they’ll not touch them!

Islam has been and remains one of the GREATEST ecological threats to the planet.
Islam makes people EXPLOITIVE because it is based on SLAVERY. The HUGE Islamic consumption of tortured meat (4 times more than the rest of people in the world) is creating Global Warning.
You heard me: ISLAM IS CREATING GLOBAL WARNING.
aprilyn43 says
Where’s the British troops to save Christians from being slaughtered? Oh, its only people … who cares!
Judi Hewitt (@Judihewitt) says
Can’t believe you said that Aprilyn after seeing the images of these animals – are you so f*****g unfeeling that you can’t see how animals are suffering too out there because of evil mankind. Why don’t you go out there and see how rangers are being killed too
Hadenoughalready says
I think she was being cynical, not insensitive.
Anonymous says
I think I understand April’s concern here. It isn’t that animals are not worth protecting. It is that humans are more worthy of being protected. However, it’s easier to print the vile pictures of butchered animals than it is to publish the photo’s of butchered humans.
BareNakedIslam says
Anon, there are countless photos and videos here of butchered humans.
