The Rhinos - South Africa Game Reserve

in #rhino7 years ago (edited)

Sibuya Game Reserve is home to some of the endangered rhino. Please join the effort to save the Rhino at http://www.sibuya-rhinofoundation.org/partner.

I stated that the rhinos deserved a post all their own. Sadly after visiting Sibuya Game Reserve in January of 2016, we learned in March that the reserve was breached by poachers.

There are no words to describe how awe inspiring these creatures are. The tour guides parked us not 10 yards from the rhinos. As we sat there learning of the efforts to save the rhino, we had no idea we were admiring what would eventually fall victim to poachers.

I simply do not understand why these animals are killed for their horns. It defies logic.
