These incidents are those, which leaves in a way speechless. There would be a lot to say, but nothing suitable for public forum like this, when trying to keep things civilized. But poachers and especially those people who are behind it, people who pay big money for ivory, rhino horns and so many other things, I consider them as cancer of humanity. Greed is worst disease there is. Combine that then again with superstitions and there we go.... I mean the reasons why for instance rhino horns are wanted... are there really so many desperate and impotent people nowadays with too much money? And that was rhetorical question. This is one thing, where public pressure against those greedy and irresponsible people should be got in higher level. When there is no-one wanting to buy, then there is no reason to kill these animals for nothing. But when someone pays, then there is always someone who needs desperately money. |
