The post sparked outrage.
Hundreds of angry and bewildered commenters said they felt the poacher was "complete evil" and "a disgrace" for killing such a rare animal that was known by local residents and should be shamed, caught, prosecuted, put behind bars and worse. ............(more)

Do something about it Ive long come to the conclusion..its people. People are the problem. Taking aim at an albino in the wilderness should be a big NO. There is nothing sacred to some with weapons. In the wild or on our streets. I hope we find out who this person is. If only to shame.
