I'm so angry and disappointed. Finally they have caught and charged the wildlife poacher Teo Boon Ching for killing rhinos for their horns yet all he has to serve is 18 months. That creep should serve over 60 years for this kind of crime given the endangered statis of rhinos. What the hell is wrong with our legal systems when no one has to pay the proper consequence for this kind of destruction.
Oh, don't even get me started on the injustice for crimes such as murder or child abuse................
Ok, my rant is over, thanks for stopping by.

@MarieCoyle I hate those who kill animals for sport and poachers. They deserve more serious punishments.

This is an excellent suggestion. I am more than tired of people being just plain cruel.

They are despicable. If someone needs to hunt an animal or butcher or whatever, to have food, I am fine with that. But trophy hunting is terrible, and hunting an animal for horns or just the fur should be outlawed everywhere. If you harvest an animal for food, it's like a gift--and all of the animal should be used, not just one part of it.

? I don't understand . . . rhinos are almost extinct now . . . 18 months for senseless killing of rhinos sounds way too short a sentence

I have no idea. But he is Indonesian so perhaps there but he should face the consequences in Africa, I'll bet they aren't nearly as forgiving.

18 months definitely sounds like too light of sentence.

In my country they just caught a man who had raped a minor and gave him 3 years of prison. I wouuld have put him in jail and lost the key.

Is there no standard punishment for such crimes and if there is why has it been reduced?

I agree, it is sickening when criminals don't get the long jail time that they deserve.

It's more than just terrible ..... too bad they would never do as I would, dump him among wild chimpanzees where there aren't any humans
