US Army vet trains poacher hunters in Tanzania
Kinessa Johnson is an Afghan war vet who spent four-and-a-half years with the US Army. Her idea of retirement has been to reenlist in a different fight under a different banner, taking up arms on behalf of VETPAW (Veterans Empowered to Protect African Wildlife).
In the past week, her decision to ship off to Tanzania and fight poaching has turned her from a selfless stewardess of Mother Nature’s embattled creatures into an Internet phenomenon known as the female “poacher hunter.”
And needless to say, hunting is something she’s quite good at. As in, split a bullet in two on the blade of an axe a la Robin Hood (below).
In a recent Reddit AMA, Johnson opened up about what her work entails and the madness that accompanies life in Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Conservation Area. And as many such Q&A’s go on Reddit, it was chock full of candid humor and cutting insights.
For reference, here are some of the remarkable creatures she’s protecting as seen through her lens:
