3 black rhinos butchered in Zimbabwe, appeal launched & reward offered.
 

3 black rhinos butchered in Zimbabwe, appeal launched and reward offered . . .


It is with shock and horror that we received reports the massacre of 3 black rhino at the hands of poachers on the night of the 7th November 2007 at Imire Safari Ranch in Zimbabwe.

Just over 20 years ago, Imire Safari Ranch became the guardians of 7 orphaned black rhino. The purpose of this was to try and increase the population of the endangered species and over the past 2 decades, the Travers family, who run the ranch, have lovingly reared and bred these animals, successfully releasing 13 black rhino back into Matusadonna National Park.

On the night of 7th of November, 4 armed poachers dressed in camouflage uniform, assaulted and tied up the rhino guards and opened fire on the 3 adult rhino in their pens. All 3 were killed - Sprinter, a male, DJ, a female who had recently given birth to a calf and tragically, Amber a pregnant female who was due to give birth in a week. Amber's unborn calf also died. . . .

The futility of this terrible violence is illustrated by the fact that the 3 rhino had been dehorned 6 weeks previously in an effort to make them less attractive to poachers but nevertheless, the poachers tried to hack out the inch of new horn growth from one of the rhinos before being frightened off by the sound of a car approaching. Imire Safari Ranch is now left with 4 orphaned rhinos including DJ's 6 week old calf.

2 rhinos kileld in Hwange:

There have also been reports that two black rhinos were killed in Hwange last weekend, and their horns hacked off. . . .


Reward offered: 

Imire is offering a reward to anyone who can lead them to the despicable people who were responsible for the massacre. They have circulated the following appeal for funds for a reward . . .


REWARD FUNDING:

Reward funding required towards the arrest and conviction of the persons responsible for the brutal killing of our 3 Black Rhino at Imire Game Park on the night of  7th November 2007.

. . . Obviously the bigger the reward the better the prospects of these culprits being brought to JUSTICE all funds will be carefully monitored and invested until such time the reward is paid or refunded to those who have contributed. . . .
