The Chinese are a threat to elephants worldwide.
The world seems to be slowly falling apart. I know that there is nothing new under the sun, but it seems like newer technology and advances are speeding the process up.
No mention of what really goes on in those "love hotels" – rampant child prostitution!
Kenya should task the Chinese forces themselves who their elites buy these ivory to patrol their border, under the watch of the African union. Sad!
I support a shoot-on-site approach to elephant poachers.
I dont know why they say the animal parts are for Asia! Really everyone knows next to all of this is China Bound! Chinese are the rapers of the Earth! Bar None!
i really think Vice is hidding alot of shit about Ukraine……….Might they have been propaganda on the coverage, and now that shits hitting the fan there silently backpeddling? Or has one of there journalists died….>FUCK VICE TELL ME IM GOING CRAZZY!!!!!< ERMAHGEERD I NEED UPDATES NOWW!!!!!!
Has peace been concluded in Ukraine already?
haha turning brothels into hotels.. watch out for wet spots
I think the real news reporting is in the comments lol
Seriously Vice, where the fuck are the updates on Ukraine?
i think if the poachers get caught,they should make them be put in a ring with 3 live elephants dressed as a lion so they get there's proper
This again? I know I seen this already
Im so sick shark finners and elephant poachers/rhino poachers. If I were in charge, Id have any of these people caught killing these animals, i'd have them hanged.
FUCKING ASIANS ARE SO CRAZY TO USE TUSKS FOR MEDICINAL PURPOSES. FUCKING RETARDS LMAO
boo to the clapping in the intro
Rounding up the weapons, beautiful, sounds like they don't want the people to have guns when they instill their iron rule down
nothing about d day?
Always the same shitty news, cmon Vice, it's BEYOND the headlines.
haha 'love hotels' why not just call it what it is and instead of 'to have a little fun' just be frank and say to get laid
poachers are not the problem, the problem are the people who buy those things eventhough they know is illegal.
Nip slip!
Everything wrong in Brazil and the government is now focusing on helping rich hotels…Everyone in government there must be high on some very good cocaine cause holy shit are the people in Brazil getting fucked.
I always supported Vice, but now I just want to curse on them. So we should start believing all those pro-russian commenters here who told that you are propaganda news and full of shit? It's over a week with no news of Ukraine, exactly when shit is going down there. Seriously? Fuck this bullshit.
