I kinda get this. Did he deserve what he got? Sure, but it's naive to act like poaching happens in a vacuum and this guy is just some lone actor. You don't see people coming down nearly as hard on the people willing to pay exorbitant prices to buy the products from poachers which causes poaching to be lucrative in the first place.

It's easy to delight in one poacher being killed - good on the animals for this one! That's fun for people to think about.

"So this means there's still a huge lucrative market for poaching existing at all, lucrative enough that desperate people risk their lives and die for it, and probably none of the buyers that create demand, or the whole system behind it, are going to get punished like this, and none of them care, and that's sad on a humanity level" isn't fun for people to think about.

Not that I'm particularly sympathetic to this one dead guy. But people are probably going over the top delight about it because it's one random score for the animals in a systemic battle we can't really see a way out of.
