RETWEET Below Tweet for awareness and to help stop poaching
These men could even be responsible for the death of the white giraffes. Apparently part of the plan involved a lot of misdirection, blaming local farmers & communities. When it was all about the meat. Beef costs USD6 a kg, giraffe is selling for $15 a kg.
