Iam back with some pretty heavy wildlife news, well its not really news because its been happening at an alarming rate for sometime now. The poaching of Rhinos has seen a surge recently and over 210 wild Rhinos have been illegally taken in 2010 alone, and most simply for their horns.
I discovered an article thats part of a constant news thread about the poaching of Rhinos in South Africa on Wildlife South Africa's website. This latest article was about the capture of two veterinarians in Johannesburg, who have been involved in the poaching of Rhinos for their horns. The arrest were made by the combined efforts of the Civil Aviation Authority, SANParks and The Department of Nature Conservation and The National Prosecuting Authority. The Endangered Wildlife Trust was extremely overjoyed to hear that their capture means a couple Rhinos will be spared but unfortunately poaching doesnt seem like its going to end anytime soon. Check back for more updates on the situation.
