8 rhino carcasses found in Kruger Park
2012-01-11 12:13



Mbombela - Eight rhino carcasses have been found in the Kruger National Park, SA National Parks said on Wednesday.


"Yesterday [Tuesday] on patrol, eight rhino carcasses were found. Three carcasses were found in Lower Sabie and five in the Pretoriuskop section of the park," said spokesperson Reynold Thakhuli.

He said all the carcasses were of adults which had been shot and dehorned.

"They [officials] are busy with investigations now although there are a few leads they are working on as we speak," said Thakhuli.

Last year, about 443 rhino were killed for their horns, with 333 killed in 2010.

Very sad. I have been fortunate enough to get very close to a couple rhinos(I dated a girl that worked at a zooSmiler) They are really neat animals.

A suspected 17 Rhino have been poached in the last two weeks in the Kruger park. The info that we have is that the poachers have been instucted to leave the Kruger and rather concentrate on the private land owners. They dont have the help of the army to protect them from the poachers.
