White Rhinoceros
(Ceratotherium simum)
Dehorned rhino cow with calf. During the past few years rhino poaching increased dramatically in South Africa.
Park officials, resort to the only current available option, dehorning. (Is this the legacy we want our children to inherit?).
Soon we might not be able to admire these magnificent creations in their natural environment. But unfortunately greedy wealth driven individuals violently destroy our natural heritage.
