Thanks WS for the link. Totally sickening and I don't think is ever going to end. It makes me so sad to think of what the far east are doing to the world.

Thanks WS, I saw this on the news, its truely dreadful isnt it and it would have been a painful death. The lengths these poachers will go to is just unbelievable. I just wished I knew what the answer was to stop all these beautiful animals dying and suffering at the hands of man.

What is getting worrying here is that these incidents are increasingly linked to serious organized crime and terrorism.

Reports that the Nairobi Westgate mall terror attackers al-Shabaab are linked to the illegal rhino horn trade surfaced earlier this week.

When CITIES approved the sale of more than 100 tonnes of legal ivory, they were predicting that there would be a reduction in the demand for illegal ivory. This prediction was very wrong – instead of satisfying demand it was stimulated and elephant poaching has gone through the roof.

A good lesson for the legalizing of trade in rhino horn debate.

As I've said before, I think Cities is just a waste of time. Still waiting for you to reply to the latest posts on the Rhino Horn debate, with your thoughts Chris
