In the first month of 2008, 4 rhinos were poached for their horns. In one case a female and her calf were viciously killed. The poachers, who first shot her, brutally quaged her horn out while she was still alive, but only after they killed her calf.

Is it any wonder I loathe the human race?
2011 Update: A total of 16-18 rhinos were slaughtered in 2008, and another 14 in 2009. In 2010, still more were killed.
