Additional field rangers and the military are part of Kruger National Park's plan to fight commercial poaching - which has led to the death of 94 rhinos in South Africa this year

Thanks Cher!

Jeepers!!!! I hope these people are not sitting around with their hands open for $$$ from the poachers!

This is WAY to many deaths of these creatures! In a National Park no less, which makes it even more appalling to even think about.

Are they being paid off? These creatures need protection, put these poachers in jail and make sure that if anyone purchases a Rhino horn or anything else they are punished! This is like Man laying around with a machine gun and just going out and shooting some special for a couple of bloody bucks!

Sorry, these articles are really upsetting me today.
