MAN SHOULD NOT BE RHINOS' BIGGEST PREDATOR!!

Wednesday 15 May 2013

Hey Guys!

We started this blog in hope of making a difference by showing people how severe Rhino Poaching has become .  97% of Africa's Black Rhino population has been slaughted in the last 40 years alone and there are less than 300 Rhinos left today in Zimbabwe .

There are 5 different types of Rhino: 1) Indian Rhino, 2) Javan Rhino, 3) Sumatran Rhino, 4) White Rhino and 6) Black Rhino. The Indian, Javan and Sumatran Rhinos are found in Asia. The White and Black Rhinos are found in Africa. Although Rhinos are endangered all over the world, they have become especially rare in Asia as the main market for the Rhino Horns are the Asians. They believe that the Rhino Horns contain medicinal healing powers, however, this fact has been proven otherwise.

It is shocking to see what extremeties people will go to, to recieve these horns as they are high in demand on the Black Market - A single Rhino Horn is worth close to $50 000.

Here is a video expanding on what we have said. Take a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoRs66lX4cI
