This story has shocked the whole world in 2007. 9 gorillas were killed in the eastern Congo in one week. One of them was a female gorilla in late pregnancy. Animals were killed for no apparent reason, obviously not for being eaten. Even though poaching is flourishing in the country, this time it had nothing to do with animal trafficking. There are not enough rangers in the National Park, inhabited by many rare species of animals. 600 people are working there now who have not been paid for years; they don’t have enough weapons. What can 600 people do against an 8,000 well-equipped army of local influential general? Nothing. The basic version of gorilla killings is that, the interests of the coal mafia of the Congo have been affected whose revenues are about $ 30,000,000 per year. This mafia is interested in cutting down tropical forests and when someone gets in the way, they “deal” with it. There are only about 600 mountain gorillas in the world. These are very sad pictures showing the everyday life of the Congo inhabitants. PS. Ordinary people are shown in the first photos, they don’t kill, but bury the dead gorillas. ![]() Have you ever seen such a big sum in one place? No? Here it is. Every one knows that drug traffickers have the most luxurious and the most expensive houses in the world with exotic private zoos etc.. One of the Mexican drug leaders, native of China who gained Mexican citizenship, had all this money at his house. He fled before the police came into his house in one of Mexico City’s wealthiest neighborhoods and found this pile of money that was hidden inside walls, suitcases and closets. All the money came from the profits of methamphetamines sold in the United States. It was estimated that major narco-traffickers were now US $205 million poorer. ![]() The state of California ran out of cash, so now they give a salary like this. PS. This is certainly not ‘money’, but the so-called IOU. New American or more specifically Californian IOU after the jump. ![]() |
