The Poachers were the antagonists of the live-action movie "Gorillas in the Mist" - based on the true story of murdered zoologist Dian Fossey. The film explored Dian Foseey's struggle in Rwanda to protect wild Gorillas from illegal poaching and due to the Rwandan government refusing the help her she and a group of animal rights activists wage a type of war against the poachers, employing tactics which would arguably be considered Extreme Activism by some (or eco-terrorism to others).
