    A suspected poacher has been eaten by a lion, leaving only his head behind. South African police say the unidentified man's remains were found lying next to a loaded hunting rifle in a private game reserve near the Kruger National Park on Saturday. http://bbc.in/2El8G0R pic.twitter.com/m7fLDtRDVU

        It is one of the many risks that poachers face when entering a protected area in search of their loot. Sadly it is a very complex issue and we should not rejoice. Poachers often live close to parks but have little say or benefits from parks and wild animals.
