A rhino at the Krugersdorp Park was killed by poachers during the night.
Lance and I were discussing it this evening, when Bradley asked about what we were talking about.
So I told him. He asked how they killed the rhino. I said that they used poison. He asked why, did they want her skin? I said, no, her horns. They cut her horns off once she was dead.
He says “Oh ja, for the chinese people because they think it’s makes them clever”
Then there was silence.
And he said “That makes me sad. Where am I going to see rhinos now?”
Ja thanks a LOT Mr Poacher… you selfish git!!
It’s not just future generations that you’re depriving of beautiful animals… it’s my kids!!!
And I’m so not happy about this! It doesn’t only make me sad. It makes me very very angry.

That is awful. I also get so angry when animals are poached. I hope they catch the poacher and cut his horn off!

I agree with you. This is just so wrong. They only think about themselves and no one else. Now the only option is going to be a book

I also saw this article! I have no words. Hubby tells me that they are also poaching in the Pilanseberg and there they have black rhinos!

I am also very angry about it. There were three rhinos at the game farm Glugs and I used to frequent, they were all poached, and a while ago one of the rhinos at the Rietvlei reserve was also poached for her horn.
