[Music] [Music] [Music] all right folks we're in hoods sprit South Africa the old razor and the Clippers are coming out this will be the last time that you see me with a full head of hair how long did it did it take you 2 and 1/2 years yes bye-bye ladies holy [ __ ] and that my friends is the end of an era my name is Matt Bracken the reason I'm here is because of animal poaching a world without animals a world without Wild free spaces is not a world I want to be in so my mission now is fighting poaching no I don't want any civilian clothes you're going on a training course we're not going to town you're not going to a party Sergeant Andrew is a guy that believes 100% in the cause climbs trees like that comes down frontwards never seen anything like it you never know where he's going to appear he's got a great personality but he definitely can be hard as well come on wake up wake up wake up get on handle like babies you have to crawl like [ __ ] babies once us to be the best that we can be and demands that come out here and that's what you get down in dirty if you get hurt try to push through it watch my [ __ ] man this car beat you course reopening wounds uh feels good though the bleed down down I kicked my ass so caught in M I hardly can talk but I'm getting in shape we start walking through the bush and one of our unit members pretty much just lay down and he just refused to go on tried as much as we could but when the kid's feet stop moving he just becomes dead weighted not even s I'm not a [ __ ] man like you I think he kind of wanted to get kicked out if I have a bigger body and everything I could make it but this in this can't that day three of the guys this is too hard and I'm not going to be able to do it and so they left you are the team leader you make sure things go smoothly they do not do what they are supposed to do I'm coming down on you and you will come down on them 50 push-ups 31 team 32 Team guys I was up at [ __ ] 400 in the morning you woke up at 5:00 we're not here to goddamn sleep in all you got to do is pick me [ __ ] up what are we let's do this everybody is becoming Brothers We Got Each Other's backs we help each other out in the bush on patrol each other's lives are in our [Music] hands and paa yeah paa droppings and we're putting them in our mouth and spitting them as far as we can it's a nice little game I'm so hungry hungry I could eat these actually so you take a little Impala dropping and pour your mouth like that nice W ah hit the rock oh damn dude that was twice as far as me [Music] wait all right well welcome to night Patrol so what we got here is the whole unit lined up we got a roadblock up here working the last defense before they hit the road our job is to find any sort of illegal meat or horns so that's what we're practicing here you me sir mind if I have a check of your vehicle actually yes guys vehicle check so perhaps say they have a rhino horn then we get very aggressive hands on the roof hands on the roof on the door on the door get him out get him out where did you find that Rhino horn I picked it up you picked it up yeah what just on the side of the road you found a rhino horn I thought it was Lu C interesting somehow I don't believe you sir it's very serious crime to have a rhino horn it's a life sentence do you realize the penalty of such an act people get off of me hold it hold it down the whole team is working hard to get this right cuz if they slip by us they head off into the city with the horn they grind it up and it's pretty much impossible to fine and then they get it out of the [Music] country when we're on patrol you're generally walking 20 to 30 km a day you're in formation you're looking for snares looking for the signs of poaching activity what happens is you'll dribble a bunch of food here and the birds come up to eat the food takes their legs right off and the poacher will come up and just take them in the bag and head on out this is a hot bed of activity for Rhino poaching Now's the Time our training is going to come into play this is the foot of a black rhino it's been pretty cut up Horn's gone and they just leave the rest for the vultures and we got four of these Rhino just around us and when you think that there's about 2,000 of these left minus four now this is definitely the Tipping Point in this war if we have some people here we all care and we're all going to do everything we can to stop this what we're doing now is caming out the fullon black polish full on silver back gorilla now this is not a Dr this is not a Dr somebody don't want to go back out now nobody's getting the game face H hopefully we'll get some poachers to Tonight We Came Upon Fresh Tracks it's poachers because they're zigzagging all around looking for the best place to put their snares [ __ ] where'd he go lost him what just happened here is we're on our way to night Ambush we noticed a guy he looked very nervous obviously they just made a a kill hey dude what's in the in the cooler box and then as he opened uh JD got under the fence do turned around and started running T shot a few warning shots uh but yeah he just GED it we must lay Ambush for this [ __ ] at least we got his cooler meet just too bad we didn't catch him distract in the East and strike in the West in the East and strike in the west we are better than the rest we are better than the rest I thought South Africans were stronger than Americans and you showed what Americans is about Rhino poaching is at an all-time high they suspect the rhinos could be extinct in the year 2017 we're here to protect the animals so one snare at a time one poacher at a time saving one animal at a time it'll go a long way
