1 Tahrcountry Musings: Kenya imposes lifetime imprisonment for poachers.

Kenya imposes lifetime imprisonment for poachers.

In an effort to clamp down on elephant and rhino poaching, Kenya has imposed lifetime imprisonment for poachers. This is in  addition to SH 20 million shilling fine.

The new effort of Kenya is laudatory. More nations should come up with stiffer penalties like this. Right now in many countries, poachers get away with light punishment. 

The new efforts by Kenya have come in for praise by United Nations.
