Two white rhinos killed in Free State

Illegal rhino poaching seeps into game parks and reserves where protection should be higher.  The trade for horns pushes poachers to take more risks in order to increase their haul.  Police have no comment and have made no arrests…

Poachers killed two white rhinos at the Kenyana Game Lodge and took only their horns.  These were the last two rhinos in the game park, the older pair had been sold a few years previously.  Police are now handling the matter.
