Two loggers have been killed by bow and arrow after allegedly encroaching the land of the uncontacted Mashco Piro Indigenous tribe deep in Peru’s Amazon, according to a rights group.
The group, known as FENAMAD, defends the rights of Peru’s Indigenous peoples. It says tensions between loggers and Indigenous tribes are on the rise and more government protective action is needed.
Two other loggers in the attack were missing and another was injured, FENAMAD said, and rescue efforts were underway.
Maybe just leave these indigenous peoples alone?
You could do that… But on the other hand… PROFITS!!1
you make a solid argument
People have been repeatedly told not to go near this group. Its the age old story where “modern man” meets indigenous tribe and kills a bunch of them with disease and they now consider us at war. We need to leave these people alone.
I don’t think it’s about disease. The loggers are killing the forest where they live in.
About half were wiped out by flu, measles, and chicken pox when contact was made in the 80s.
I know, but I doubt that’s the reason they killed the loggers.
Disease won’t be an issue if there’s no forest left for them to live in.
Those are your priorities. They don’t have the full geopolitical picture. A few decades ago they got decimated by disease as soon as outsiders made contact. They remember.
No, this is you mixing the Akuntsu with the Mashco Piro.
Your story isn’t related to this tribe.
Border guards successfully repel incursion with minimal casualties.
FTFY
They were in their right to do so. It’s territorial defense.
FA,FO
If there’s profits to be made, they are fucked now. Lumber tycoon pays for mercs to go in and introduce them to the AK47 unless the government protects them. Typically South American governments are not bribed or corrupt though, so they should be alright.
…heh…right?
These guys should have been arrested before they were killed for tribal incursions. Were the authorities jacking off? Whoever is in charge of keeping loggers in check fucked up and should be sacked. The logging company executive should resign in disgrace as well. Likely its his bribes that got these guys killed.
Justified
They company should be fucked up the ass for getting that close to their land. Fuck rescue efforts, that will only endanger the tribe
What an unfortunate thing to happen on free dozen eggs night.
Hell yeah.
Lol
Lmao.
Good
Fucking metal
