Re: Bad news from the Serengeti
I agree - but poaching is on the increase - there are now daily reports and unless something is done soon it will have a devastating impact on these animals.

Re: Bad news from the Serengeti
Your right there Lai Rhino Horn is selling at $7,500 Dollars an ounce, and only by stopping the demand at the end of the chain will it stop. You can catch the poachers, and try to protect the Rhino as much as possible, but while there's a demand, with the money on offer so high the temptation fpr people to get there hands on so much money means that poaching will still continue.
It's sad that these were the first 5 of a group of 32 that were being relocated from South Africa, and I wonder if that will now be in danger

Its a pity all those little campaign on stopping poaching can not come together as one voice. If there was a consequence to the countries and governments then maybe they will heed a louder voice.

Re: Bad news from the Serengeti
It's very sad and depressing that poaching is on the increase As animal lovers we certainly can't understand why people could/would be so cruel to these beautiful creatures but the reality is the money they receive for the ivory is an incredible amount and unfortunately the people see that the risk of being caught is worth taking I honestly don't know what they can do to stop the demand of ivory
