Kinessa Johnson is a US Army veteran who served for 4 years in Afghanistan, this week she arrived in Africa to take on a different kind of enemy. Her new mission is, as she puts it, “We’re going over there to do some anti-poaching, kill some bad guys, and do some good.” She is now enlisted with Veterans Empowered To Protect African Wildlife (VETPAW) as an anti-poaching advisor. VETPAW is a not-for-profit organization that employs US Veterans to help protect African wildlife from being illegally hunted and captured.

Ms. Johnson and her team of fellow Vets arrived in Tanzania on March 26th and began their work. She has already noticed a decrease in poaching activity in her team’s immediate area because their presence is known.

    If I had Ms Johnson’s experience, I would happily join her in this job, it is something that should have been done years ago.

    I’m not convinced that veterans of war crimes are the best people to protect endangered species.

      Science maintains, the extinctions of the strands in the web of all life, like wolves, coyotes, rhinos and elephants, are about as safe for mankind and Earth as “thermonuclear war”. Only, wild, native species are the work force in the economy of all life on Earth. We are desperate to stop these poachers as scientifically, they are killing all of mankind’s lifelines for life itself, including oxygen releasing, the transpiration of the climate cooling water cycle and fresh water, the balancing of the gaseous composition of the atmosphere, the vital nitrogen cycle that passes between plants and animals and the entirety of Earth’s bio-geochemistry; bio means, “life”. Wild, native species are scientifically, biological diversity.

      This veteran knows how to use a rifle; think of her as preventing a global, thermonuclear war!

      I wouldn’t call the average U.S. soldier a war criminal. And if the true war criminals like George W Bush and Barack Obama wanted to get out in the field to stop poachers, I’d be glad to see them do something useful for once!

    We also have to remember that 182 rangers have been murdered by these ‘poor starving villiagers’ poachers. She’s helping them learn to defend themselves and the animals.
