Poaching Assures Inevitable Extinction of White Rhino

http://www.cnn.com/2014/12/15/us/san-di ... ?hpt=hp_t2

Words cannot express the sorrow, selfishness and shame of this.

But to call these devils human is wrong.  Poachers are inhuman and this is proof.  

These evil beings have sealed the fate of this innocent, harmless species.  They have not just taken a life or lives.  Poachers of the White Rhinoceros have now assured its inevitable extinction.

As human beings, we must all be ashamed that we allowed this to go this far.   We all allowed world leaders to let this happen.  

And the African elephant is on its way to extinction too.  It is being dragged to extinction and we continue to allow it to happen.  The demand for ivory continues.  Humans are perverted creatures.  

Why is it considered wrong on this forum to express hatred for the poachers of these poor, innocent creatures ?   These are normal human emotions.  Maybe they are not good for the person who feels them (me)…..but they are normal.  Slaughtering these animals for their ivory is perverted and should be dealt with accordingly.  

Whew!….I just needed to express myself there.

It should be noted that the species mentioned in your link is the Northern White Rhino. The Southern White Rhino is the most abundant Rhino according to this:

Ok, and thanks Joe

I have edited your initial post above as what you wrote was completely unacceptable to the guidelines of this forum.  NSN of course does not feel that you can't express that poaching is wrong and despicable but calling for the deaths of anyone is completely unacceptable on this forum and can not be tolerated.  Poachers should be captured and punished to the full extent of the law that exists in the country that they are captured in.  It is not up to us to determine what that punishment might be, no matter how strongly you feel about it.  It is up to the appropriate courts to decide.

While poachers are carrying out the killings on an unprecedented scale, its the traffickers paying them that are perpetuating the activity which has become a massive industry in recent years. The black rhino population has been reduced by an estimated 97.5% since 1960. The elephant population in Africa has been reduced by an estimated 25% in the just the last three years (as reported by many sources including National Geographic).
This is serious stuff.
