The killing of three rare Kordofan giraffes inspired a filmmaker to transform his anger into action. David Hamlin was on assignment in the Democratic Republic of the Congo when he saw a female and two male giraffes peacefully making their way through the tall grass. The next morning he learned that the three animals were found shot and mutilated. Shocked by the news and compelled to uncover the truth, Hamlin decided to visit the site of the killings to document this horrific act. Accompanied by armed rangers from the nonprofit conservation organization African Parks and the Congolese Parks Authority ICCN, he ventured through the volatile grounds of Garamba National Park. There he learned that the giraffes were killed for something worth thousands of U.S. dollars: their tails.

Garamba National Park is a battleground where heavily armed groups poach wildlife for resources and monetary gain. This latest incident was a major blow to the rangers, because the number for Kordofan giraffes in that area has dwindled down to 37. However, Hamlin hopes this tragedy will galvanize the efforts of conservationists and others who fight to protect the world’s endangered animals.

People love it when we rescue old cars from the junkyard. We’ll see what happens when they see this episode of Roadkill presented by Dodge, during which we literally hack a ’56 Buick Century out of a thorn bush it’s been sitting in for 25 years, then continue slashing as we attempt to mount the body on a ’73 Corvette chassis. Oh yeah, we hacked up that car, too. Watch for more Sawzalls, weed whacking, and plasma cutting per minute than any other episode of Roadkill.
