"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

Wild dogs, Rhino and a recovering Kudu population........the Save' is a special place. The intrusion of war vets is an issue in some areas, as is Mugabe's henchmen attempting to "partner" with land owners. I had a great experience 20 miles N of Humani in Brooklands Msaise Concession. Hunt it while you can. Great pics. Thanks. Jim

I thought poachers who came across rhino that had their horns trimmed would go ahead and shoot them anyway. This to eliminate the chance of tracking them again in the future; therefore, wasting their time of chasing a rhino without a horn.

graybird,

Yes, of course, that happens. And not just so they won't have to track it again, sometimes out of sheer malice - to show authorities that de-horning won't help their cause. But, bear in mind that the sound of a shot carries - the poachers know this too. Dehorning has not stopped the poaching, but I'm sure it has helped in particular areas. Anyway, we try everything we can.

I thought this too, but to approach this logically, if a poacher decided to not shoot a rhino, one without a horn has just a slightly higher chance of not being shot than one with.
