 According to figures released by the organisation Stop Rhino Poaching, 2011 figures for Rhino slaughters have matched that of 2010. This brings the total Rhino's slaughtered in the last two years to 666, a bit of an ominous number we admit. We still have two and a half months left of 2011 and we're sure to see 2011's numbers rise above 2010's before the year draws to an end. The Rhino poaching issue continues unabated and the last two years especially have been a very dark time for protection of our dwindling wildlife resources in South Africa. We struggle to accept that the South African authorities cannot stamp out this problem.
