I honestly don’t know how to express my anger over this…

A badly injured white rhino lies in a hollow after poachers sawed off its horn on Aquila game  reserve in Touws river. Poachers attacked three of the six rhinos of the  reserve, killing one outright and injuring this one badly. This rhino  bull was tranquilised by poachers, who then sawed off his primary horn,  and began cutting the smaller one, but were apparently disturbed and  left. The critically injured male is one of the latest victims in South  Africa’s rhino bloodbath, which is surging on privately owned reserves  as criminal syndicates target easier prey for the Asian black market.  South Africa has lost 275 rhinos to poaching this year, with a recent  swing to private reserves which hold about a quarter of the country’s  rhinos.
