Hearing about Kevin's words about poaching, not only does it re-affirm my belief in the way he approaches wild life conservation, it also makes me feel encouraged that such an intelligent and truly empathetic human is leading the way for the mission. HUGE RESPECT, thank you Kevin and the team and so many more people who are contributing to the cause. x

Empathy to ppl who have no empathy is only gonna lead to disaster! They deserve nothing less than death! I'm sorry but that's how I feel.. Kevin is an animal guardian not a human one, we as a species are like cockroaches or a disease we do nothing but destroy until all that will be left to destroy will be us and honestly until then the planet IS doomed

The amount of awareness that kevin and the foundation give to the world is just amazing. Keep up with the amazing work, we all appreciate you !!

One of the greatest things about Kevin is that he understands it isn't all black and white. He understands the nuances. Rather than beating his head against the wall he wants to find balance. That is an unusual trait in a man so passionate about his cause.

It's something I truly admire about Richardson. Understanding or at least trying to come to grips with these nuances is partially a main reason why I find that he is quite effective at his cause. The inability to empathize, to comprehend the emotional state of even your most staunch opponents leads one open to self-destruction, to a life of perpetual false-victimization where you never recover because you view just about everything as an attack. It is not healthy.

With as much as you love animals, it is really amazing that you can empathize with people who are trying to feed their families. You are a good man Kevin Richardson. Thank you for educating as well as entertaining us. The people who you met are heroes for risking their own lives to help animals.

Thank you Kevin for mentioning the complicated poaching situation. When people are struggling and/or starving can make you do some horrific things for survival. It doesn't change how one feels about the suffering of these animals. you can possess both emotions at the same time.

Please also consider how dangerous the anti-poaching job is. These guys are not carrying full auto weapons with them for no reason!

and this my friends is one of the many definitions of hero.

Hats off to that anti-poaching team 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I'm afraid poaching will (again) be where the next pandemic comes from if we don't stop this rampant disrespect of wildlife. Capitalism is driving both people and animals to sheer desperation. We need a new way of living on this planet 🌍

Tremendous report!

This damage goes hand in hand with the submission, misery and poverty of the people.

And thank you Kevin for telling both sides of the story, while poaching is terrible it isn't always about the money, but survival.

Thank you Kevin for this interesting video. These teams of anti-poaching units are so awesome, they put their lives at risk to save wildlife. It is so sad, for so many creatures caught, so much suffering in these snares before they die. Bloodhounds are fabulous dogs, with good rustic horses knowing the field, a good team 👍

I agree - empathy is a rare and needed ability

Lockdowns & crashes economies are causing people to starve in poverty. The lockdowns HAVE to be stopped. The WHO is completely discredited. Kevin explained how this progresses as time goes on. Anti-poachers already have a hard enough time protecting wildlife - on top of that you've got huge populations out of work - all over the WRONG information by the WHO. The virus has a 99% recovery rate & there are meds to cure it. At this point to continue lockdowns is cruel to not only people it is for animals too. Only tyrants are keeping lockdowns in place at this point. There has neved been & never will be a virus free world. That's the reality of it.

I have so much respect you, the anti-poachers. You are the angels of this Earth and no words can describe the admiration I have for the hard work you do and the dedication you have.
