Another two Rhino's killed

Postby Nkwazi » Fri Mar 12, 2010 6:05 pm

Two rhino's have died at Rietfontein Dam, again darted from a helicopter and horns cut off while they were still alive. Someone, somewhere must know something about this. Rietfontein Dam is within Waterkloof CTR, mind you there's never anyone there. These guys are operating from a private property somewhere. Keep your eyes open guys, there are enough of us to hopefully spot something, somewhere. If you see a chopper where it shouldnt be, take position and report. Lets try and catch these motherf$%^#*rs. I'm annoyed now :evil:

I agree. this is not some remote area, this is Olifantsfontein, Irene, lots of people living there, somebody must have seen something. Bastards

It looks as if these guy could be on the move. There is also a report that a rhino has been poached on a private game farm in the Ladysmith area a few days ago and it horn has also been removed. According to a person from this game farm a helicopter was also used as there where skid marks of a helicopter in the sand next to the dead animal. I do not know if the rhino was darted or shoot.

Time to enlist the elite Samurai to ellimnate the end buyers and retailers, not before getting the info of the local suppliers. Then to cut off their horn whilst they're still alive.

:evil: :evil: :evil: Also at Loskop Nature Reserve 3 Rhino,s the past week.!! I saw the photos...A mother with a calf plus the calf in her wombe.
Rhino,s are the Mandela,s of the animal kingdom..Why dont we see any arrest,s being made????
Over 35 Rhino,s since the beginning of the year..!!!
Something serious is wrong..Something high up..The Milatry and Police should be investigated..
I was told by people in the Game farm Industry that the current price of a Rhino horn is more than what a Rhino will fetch at an Auction.!!! :evil: :evil: :evil:
Ek is besorg oor ons land..

Well, i hope they crash and burn,( and i mean CRASH ) a slow and painfull death to these bastards. F&@#ckers!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

There must be some way of making the public aware of this, to report when a chopper etc is seen over a protected area. ( what about no fly zones etc ),
I do think that there is some bigger finger in the pie here !

Agreed - bastards!
We need to take action. It could be as easy as reporting a type or colour of helicopter seen over a game reserve. This could already be an important lead to start an investigation.
