Why the fuck did he do it, though?
I read previously that there had been conflict between locals in the area and poachers. The dead animals started appearing in the same place as where the conflict began and the situation has continued and escalated. So basically aggressive, violent poachers trying to intimidate locals:
Locals reportedly believe the incidents are carried out by poachers sending a “message” to locals to keep them from interfering. The culprits are thought to be linked to gangs who broadcast their activities live on Facebook.
One local farmer, whose land has been targeted repeatedly, told the paper: “They are basically laughing in our faces. The horrific display they left outside our community shop is obviously meant to let us know they’re invincible.”
