Save the rhinos!

South africa has been a huge site for poaching Rhinos. More action has been taken to reduce high numbers yet in 2017, 1028 rhinos were killed for their horn and skins. A rise in incidents outside Kruger National Park also points to the growing knowledge of poaching gangs that are gaining a wider geographical coverage and expanding their operations. While numbers in South Africa numbers are going down, this has made poaching gangs expand hunting into other african countries which do not have as many rules protecting animals. In kenya, 5% of the population of rhinos were killed off, then namibia had 80 killed from poaching. This is positively slowing down, but not fast enough.
Why may people be hunting them?
How do we get this to stop?
What could the effect of extinction for rhinos be?
government could stop this by prohibiting the entrance of hunters to their habitat. Berto
ReplyDeleteThey should not be killed for whatever reason.

The government can make purchasing rhino horns and skins illegal, which would bring down demand for these items, and then fewer people would hunt the rhinos.-Jeffrey
ReplyDeletea way we can strop it is put tracking devices on them that can tell us when they die and we can go out to the scene ti see if it was natural death or poaching

Good idea people should monitor how they are doing so they can keep the animals in the best amount of health possible
DeletePeople are hunting them for their tusks, made of ivory. ~Gray Daitch
ReplyDeleteKilling rhinos realeases more carbon.
ReplyDeleteI think that there should be better enforcement of the laws where these rhinos are getting killed or there should be a guarded sanctuary where they can roam free without being killed.

people are hunting rhinos because of the ivory they get from there horns. some people believe it has ingredients in it that work as medicine, which has proven to not be true. also just the ivory itself is sold on the black market for a very high price. -kennedy
ReplyDeleteThis treatment of animals needs to stop. This so immoral because their lives are just as valuable as ours. -Ashley Herman
ReplyDeletein the wild, the adult black or white rhino has no predator for humans.
