Maybe not so strange, maybe looking after the guilty party before names get mentioned. Who knows ????? O/ O/ O/

Innocent???

2 people that spend everyday together, will k n ow about each others dealings,

or she'd see the signs

Bloody clothes,
a machete,
chainsaw,
Rhino horn???

If it was first mentioned in 2011, and she never found out they must be staying in a huge flippen house in knp.

SANPARKS is a joke, what will happen to me if i get caught making a desperately needed loo stop?

"Possesion" is not the same as having poached the horn!

Still illegal.


Sometimes it’s not until you don’t see what you want to see, that you truly open your eyes.

Of course it is!! That was not the point... the point was the insinuation of blood on clothes, weapons lying around and married people knowing each other.

This whole thing just sickens me.

Why don't they just round up all the rhino - slaughter them all and set up a road side stand to sell the horn? Wonder how they'd cover THAT up - but I'm sure they'd manage.
