No it isn’t. The WWF is doing this and the result is a bunch of paramilitaries running around killing and raping random people. Not to mention, in Africa, many of the “anti poaching” organizations are run by ex-Rhodesian mercenaries/officers. Just some old white guys who are rich and want to feel powerful by killing black people with immunity and commanding other black people.

Holy shit. Thanks for this counterpoint. I thought I was onboard with this and now I realize there's more to this issue. As always…

“They were poaching. The whole village was.”

Dude I genuinely thought this was satire at first seeing it's on the memes community. It's real? What the actual fuck?!
