✦✦THE FACTS:ONE RHINO IS KILLED EVERY 12 HOUR WORLDWIDE!!
-Over 100 rhinos poached in South Africa in past month !!!!!✦As a whole, the five species of rhinos constitute the most endangered large animals in the world today and this is for one simple reason: humans are killing them at an unsustainable rate to sell their horns on the international black market for use in Traditional Asian Medicine.
✦Unchecked hunting nearly killed off all the rhinos in southern Africa at the beginning of the 1900s. Conservationists in the 1960s airlifted rhinos to different parts of South Africa to spread them out. That helped the population grow to the point that South Africa is now home to some 20,000 rhinos — 90 percent of all rhinos in Africa.
✦From the 1990s to 2007, rhino poaching in South Africa averaged about 15 a year, according to a recent report by the wildlife trade monitoring network TRAFFIC. In 2008, however, poachers killed 83 rhinos and by 2009, the number hit 122, the report says.
✦333 rhinos killed in South Africa in 2010
A total of 333 rhinos were illegally killed in South Africa in 2010, including ten critically endangered black rhinos, according to national park officials. The yearly total is the highest ever experienced in South Africa and nearly three times the 2009 figure when 122 rhinos were killed in the country. And 2011 has started off at least as badly as 2010.
✦The killings grew exponentially after that: 448 in 2011 and as of Tuesday, at least 588 rhino killed this year alone (2012!), according to South Africa's Department of Environmental Affairs.

✦Latest update ! 1 November 2013
Namibia is planning to hold an auction to raise money for the conservation of rhinos in their country. But what they’re planning to auction is a legal hunting permit for a black rhino – the scarcer of the two already vulnerable animals. According to a report on Tourism Update, the auction will be hosted by the Dallas Safari Club during its annual convention and expo in January. The hunt will take place at Mangetti National Park, in northern Namibia.
As cruel as this sounds, the auction is set to raise a considerable amount of money that will go directly toward conserving rhinos in Namibia. The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) has granted Namibia an annual export quota of up to five hunter-taken black rhinos. This means that the hunting of five black rhinos per year is entirely legal in Namibia.
“This fundraiser is the first of its kind for an endangered species,” said Dallas Safari Club Executive Director, Ben Carter. “It’s going to generate a sum of money large enough to be enormously meaningful in Namibia’s fight to ensure the future of its Black rhino populations.”
✦There are currently only 4 848 black rhinos left in Africa and the western black rhino was declared extinct in June this year. Closer to home, figures are looking increasingly dire with 790 rhinos already poached during this year (up until 25 October 2013). During the entire duration of 2012, 668 rhinos were poached in South Africa. This, according to the Department of Environmental Affairs, published on Stop Rhino Poaching. 259 arrests have already been made this year.
As the situation is getting increasingly desperate, governments are trying anything and everything to curb poaching. Earlier this year there was talk about South Africa legalising trade in rhino horn. Other possible solutions have also included a chemical composition that will affect the health of those who consume rhino horn. Many have opted for dehorning their rhinos in an attempt to keep poachers at bay, but the rhino remains under growing threat of becoming extinct. - See more at: http://blog.getaway.co.za/

✦✦Animals Used In Chinese Medicines✦✦
36 different species of animal are used in traditional Chinese medicines, including the endangered species the tiger, the rhinoceros, and the sea horse.
Worryingly, according to the World Health Organisation, nearly 80% of the world's population relies on traditional medicines. This is despite traditional medicines having no scientific evidence to prove their claims and having no real medical value.
Chinese medicine is the most widely practiced traditional medicine, although there are other traditional medicines used in other cultures world wide which also involve animal cruelty.
Rhino Poaching
Rhinoceros horns are used in Chinese medicines because of the belief that they treat fever, convulsions, and delirium.
The Rhinoceros is an endangered species. Heightened demand from traditional Chinese medicine consumers across Asia means their horns are worth nearly twice as much as gold.
In fact, a Rhino's horn is worth more than the actual Rhino would weigh in gold! This means that Rhinoceros poaching is common wherever in the world the Rhinos can be found.
They are not even safe in animal parks and sanctuaries.
The poaching of Rhino's for their horns leaves many young Rhino's orphaned, too young to fend for themselves.
Officials in the countries trusted to protect their Rhinos are often corrupt and complicit in the killings. Much of the illegal hunting is undertaken by organised crime gangs.
The violence poachers use towards Rhino's is brutal. Many Rhino's are killed using one of a number of merciless methods before their horn is removed. In other cases, the Rhino is still alive, and in incredible pain, after the horn has been dug out of it's face.
Rhinos have often been seen writhing around in pain due to the agony being so unbearable. Many of the Rhinos who survive the agonizing experience, then sadly die, or have to be put out of their misery.
Those who do not die due to the poachers attack, cannot defend themselves against other animals without their horn.
In the last 100 years, the Rhino population has decreased by 95%. Sadly, it is now thought that the Rhinos only hope of surviving at all is in captive breeding.
✦The demand for rhino horn comes predominantly from Asia where it is used as a traditional Chinese medicine that supposedly cures cancer, hangovers, and is used as an aphrodisiac
►93% of the world’s rhino population is in South Africa
►2 ½ rhinos are killed every day
✦In 2008 83 rhinos were killed. This year in 2013 an estimated 1000 rhinos will be killed.
✦There were 20,160 wild white rhino and 4,880 wild black rhino at the start of 2011
✦Despite the good intentions of saving a rhino from being poached by removing its horn, the rhino is often killed anyway. Poachers do this to prevent having to track the rhino again in the future.
✦Many poachers have bad shots and use old ammunition, which means that the rhinos do not die right away and are alive when their horns are brutally hacked off with pangas and axes.
✦People on the demand-side believe that the serum secreted from the base of the horn has increased potency and powers. Therefore, many poachers will hack the the entire face off of the rhino while the animal is still alive to ensure that they get the entire horn as well as this serum as it is worth more.
✦Many farms are removing their rhinos horns as a safety precaution. While this does help a bit, the chunk of horn left in the rhinos head is still valuable and poachers will kill the rhino even for this small amount.
✦Poaching takes place across boundaries.
►No organization or governmental body keeps a central database of statistics relevant to the region.
►Flourishing illegal wild animals markets in SA is compounded by geographical location and relatively sophisticated infrastructure.
►Poaching is taking place in an increasingly organized scale. Money is the driving force behind the trade; motivated by greed and aided by corruption, also inadequate ranger staffing, public and state attitudes to wildlife, lack of public awareness, lack of data, and lack of adequate law enforcement.
✦The media only reports rhino deaths from poaching, but many rhinos are killed and injured due to collateral damage over and above this. Fore example fatal aggression is increasing in male rhinos due to stress.
✦There are 3 general categories of consumptive use of wild animals:1.
-1.commercial trophy hunting (including subsistence hunting).
-2. illegal poaching.
-3. commercial farming (poaching defined as hunting wild animals for food and entrepreneurial exploitation, including bushmeat trade for local and urban trade).

✦The REPORTAGE INTERVIEW
On the black markets of Southeast Asia, rhino horn is worth more than gold, cocaine and heroin. This is the story of a more than two-year-long investigation into a dangerous criminal underworld where merciless syndicates will stop at nothing to attain their prize. It is a tale of greed, folly and corruption, and of an increasingly desperate battle to save rhinos -- which have existed for more than 50-million years.
Killing for Profit, written by investigative journalist Julian Rademeyer, is a meticulous, devastating and revelatory account of one of the world's most secretive trades. It exposes poachers, scoundrels, gangsters, conmen, mercenaries, killers, gun-runners, diplomats, government officials and kingpins behind the slaughter. And it follows the bloody trail from the frontlines of the rhino wars to the lair of a wildlife-trafficking kingpin on the banks of the Mekong River in Laos.

✦✦THE RHINO HORN STORY !THE CHINESE-VIETNAMESE MAFFIA CONNECTION TRADE
The Hanoi Connection: How rhino horn gets from South Africa to China?
Since 2007 rhino poaching in South Africa has increased by 3000%. This undercover report reveals evidence of the involvement of high-ranking government-affiliated individuals in a shocking international trade.
Widely used in traditional Chinese medicine and an increasingly sough-after status symbol, rhino horn products can be easily bought all over South East Asia. But DNA tests on those products reveal that up to 90% of them are fakes. So what is behind the alarming poaching rates of the African rhino? Following a trail from South Africa, through Vietnam to Laos, conservation activist Karl Ammann uncovers the complicity of high-ranking officials in the illegal trade. Caught on hidden camera, a horn trader confesses: "My clients are mainly provincial leaders, local governors". With prices for real rhino horn reaching $60,000 per kilo and international agencies unable to tackle the problem, is there anything we can do to protect these endangered animals?

✦✦Rhinos are gentle. They are curious when we stop nearby to observe them. They are protective of their calves, who need to nurse for 16 months. They communicate with each other. They are not so unlike us.
Humans are rhinos’ only predators because they have horns, made of keratin, like our fingernails. Horns that some people believe have medicinal properties – properties that are unproven. So people brutally kill them, even young rhinos, for just a nub of horn.
The rhino population has reached a devastating low due to the rise in illegal rhino horn poaching. In 2008, 83 rhinos were killed. This year in 2013 an estimated 1,000 rhinos will be killed. The situation is desperate...please spread this link with the petition widely !
