I agree with brooke-stark on this, but who is to say these people don't kidnap people for the parts? I also agree that that traking chips combined with 'lethal' chemicals ought to put a dent in this awful trade.

Hi, I run Helping Rhinos, a UK charitable organisation working with Save The Rhino International. I really like this infographic - would you be happy for me to replicate it for use in some talks I have to give and to use it to promote a link to your page from my website?

Thanks

I can understand using an animal for a purpose, if they have one, like cows for milk produce etc. but Rhino's for their horns? Elephants for their ivory? Its just stupid.

I hope they insert a GPS as well as toxins into the horns so these criminals won't kill them anymore!!
