"Hunting" Rhinos
Posted: Sat Apr 04, 2015 11:36 am
An article on the poaching in South Africa in the biggest Danish newspaper
All the information is correct. Botswana is praised for the way they are handling the poaching plaque and for the severe sentences.
The following quote is also criticized: »Så længe, der er mennesker, der er fattige, er det dem, der kommer først. Ikke dyrene,« har sydafrikanske politikere udtalt. ( "As long as there are poor people they come first, not the animals" have South African politicians uttered)
The article answers: They should be able to handle both and it has not always been like this etc. etc. and they explain the success story in the 90th of the growth of the white and black rhino.
Nice to see that they have finally posted it for the public to see. It is not in the main part of the newspaper, but in the part that handles "Travelling", which in Denmark is quite an important thing as everybody is travelling. You can see for yourselves that it is not at all superficial.
Well written, all info correct and very critical towards the South African Government.
Have a look here too!
and here! (Pull the rhino towards the right side and you can see the number of poached rhinos year after year. Let go after each column and then pull again)
Click on the beige rectangle and you will see what the horns are used for!
