Shocking statistics,,,,,!!

http://www.timeslive.co.za/scitech/2012/04/04/159-rhino-poached-in-south-africa-this-year

Last week we posted some of our thoughts on the ongoing slaughter of our Rhino population. Click on the Link above to read a shocking update!!!!

When this article was published 159 Rhino's had been slaughtered in just 95 days!!

We are being led to believe that as a nation - the Vietnamese are the biggest market.


(Photograph from the archives - not taken at River Bend Lodge.....but it does illustrate the beauty of this vulnerable animal which is being killed for nothing more than what makes up our fingernails!!)
