Check out Channel 4's reporting of the Black Mambas
There are more groups out there who are putting an end to poaching. South African all female anti-poaching group Black Mambas trains women to be anti-poaching rangers. Amazing work they're doing. Founded in 2013, this anti Poaching unit works to protect the Olifants West Region of Balule Nature Reserve and has since expanded to cover the entire Balule area, 400km².

Anonymous released a video announcing their initiative to take the fight against the poachers. in their video they have showcased different individuals who are big time poachers including the much hated b!tch accountant. While Anonymous did not say her name specifically, they have listed a couple pictures of her in their video more than others which allows us to safely imply that she is high up on their list of priority of targets. As this b!tch is still on her killing spree in Africa right now, the university made a statement distancing themselves from her actions, we expect her dismissal is on the way (You have to expect large institutions have to go through red tapes to make a firing decision), let's hope Anonymous efforts in leaking information about her will provide the university with a stronger reason to dismiss her. Anonymous is a group of hackers and techno activists who believes in taking matters into their own hands. They often target organizations as a whole and on rare occasions attack individuals. They were behind the hacking of Canada's CIA, CSIS, earlier this year and different agencies in the past. It is likely anonymous will be conducting a doxing attack on the Idaho accountant where they will research sensitive informations and release them out to public as they have done in the past when attacking individuals (as opposed to organizations). You can watch the video here. Up next: We all love penguins because they're soooo cute. Watch this amazing footage of a penguin trying to escape from an orca. A group of eco-tourists were visiting the Anarctic when they spotted some orcas chasing some penguins, the eco-tourists were given a big surprise... Eco-Tourism brings in a lot more money than hunting. If you go with a mindset to kill the animals will never trust you enough to do something as extraordinary as this! Up Next:

Watch this brave ranger confronted this heavily armed poacher LIKE A BOSS (Left). Watch Cecil's cousins in action (Right) (Telegraph, Daily Mail & CNN) Oxford University research group Wildcru is under scrutiny for its discreet affiliation with hunting group. Daily Mail and Telegraph has reported on the founder of WildCRU admitting to allowing the organization to accepting donations from these groups and defended taking their donations. These groups included the Dallas Safari Club and pro hunting conservation group Panthera (Whose founder was active in the mining and oil & gas industry). The presence of these groups surely are complicating the matters of the stage against poaching as these groups are not illegally killing animals but are killing them legally through paying a large sum of money to support conservation projects. Similar to cap and trade and the pollution Kyoto protocol where those with money can 'buy' you the rights to kill, these groups operate in the light and are pro conservation but are also pro hunting. An investigation into Dallas Safari Club has shown that they are currently calling for DELTA, American Airlines and Air Canada to REVERSE the BAN on the transport of animal trophies which we have worked hard to achieve! The group is criticized for other controversial stunts like hosting a $350,000 Rhino hunt and an elephant shoot which they recently cancelled. The affiliation of both of those group are going to cause WildCRU some turbulance especially after it had collected £500,000 in donations from Cecil lovers world wide, many of which are 100% against the killing of ANY animals. The founder of WildCRU, Professor David Macdonald, defended his stance claiming that there was no conflict of interest between its work and sources of funding. But the question is with groups like Dallas Safari Club that can pull out a third of a million from one auction, it would not be a surprise if they have deep roots in the WildCRU organization that we are not aware of. We cannot don't blame WildCRU too much for accepting affiliation with these organizations as university groups are often strapped for funding and often accepted donations from its alumni in different fields including oil and gas, weapons and tobacco industry (through shell companies). Though it is fair game for us to place some degree of expectations for a world class university like Oxford to lead the way to ethical fundraising. My question is why didnt they disclose it right from the beginning. But it was RIGHT AFTER collecting all the money then they come out of the closet. The revelation of groups like Panthera and Dallas Safari Club opens up a new can of worms: 'Sustainable' pro-hunting groups. These are groups owned by wealthy millionaires who pay hundreds of thousands to enjoy their activity of TROPHY HUNTING. They claim they are fine tuning the ecosystem by taking out invasive species and still keep a collection at home. These guys aren't fully the dark side but they're not fully pro-animals. It is important for donors to conduct sufficient research before jumping directly to a cause that others are tossing around. Share with us in the comments below what you think of all these? Can WildCRU be trusted? Can these sustainable pro-hunting groups be allowed? Our team at www.OurCecil.com will be investigating deeper into this issue as the WildCRU scandal unfolds.

Richard Dawkins has spoken out against the Idaho accountant's claim that the giraffe she had killed was her most “ethical” shot. A rather ridiculous claim that Dawkins jumped on to mock the Accountant with the following tweet

Dentist hires armed guards to protect his three properties - He is holding out for the long haul8/5/2015 With the recent vandalism attack on the dentist's Florida house, lion killer Walter Palmer scales up his estate security by hiring armed guards and installing security cameras. Still remaining out of sight, it has been a little over a month since the dentist killed our beloved Cecil the Lion, the dentist has made one account of contact with authorities but did not turn himself in. The wealthy dentist has hired Global Investigative Group to manage his secuirity over his three properties filled with exotic animal heads killed from animals Walter personally killed himself. Global Investigative Group is headed by a former chief of police and US State Department adviser, Walter Zalisko. It is evident that the dentist is preparing to hold out for the long haul. Wow why would he want to hire armed guards? oh right because he loves to kill things. First animal, soon he'll be killing human beings. This is rather disappointing how someone would go through such great lengths to resist reality. He is clearly in the wrong and should accept the consequences Up next:
Idaho University distances with accountant huntress - Dismissal may be next (left). watch this badass ranger confronted this heavily armed poacher LIKE A BOSS (Right) After much backlash for her actions, the Idaho University where Sabrina Corgatelli is employed at finally spoke up disagreeing with the choices she made. The spokesperson from the university said 'This is not an Idaho State University matter. While the individual in question is an employee, her personal choices are not representative of the University.' Refusing to comment more, university spokes person confirmed that Sabrina Corgatelli had been employed at the university since January. Our social media pressure is finally making a difference. we need to press on until the university decides to fire her for her unethical practice of mass murdering innocent animals. Speculation that dismissal will be very soon as this b!tch is new at this work place, she hasnt planted enough roots in the university such that for her to go would not affect the morale of her coworkers. Just by looking at her FB updates you can already figure out that she's the b!tchy type of girl who has a big ego and attitude probably rarely fit in well with people at work and possibly got a handful of enemies at work who hate her attitude (You know how b!tchy coworkers never have any close friends at work). Let's hope the university drops her like a hot potato soon. The longer they keep her around, the longer they will feel the wrath of the people.
