In Africa the white rhinos are being killed. There were one-thousand-and-four animals poached and used for there ivory tusks. The number has increased majorly from last year. In two-thousand-and-seven, thirteen of these majestic animals were killed now about three a day. If we kill any more rhinos than they surly will go extinct. The poaching was increased fifty percent in the previous twelve months. In the previous year there was more poaching than in any other year. Campaigners say that the growing demand of rhinos horns for markets in China and Vietnam are fueling the killings. At the end of the nineteenthth century there were only one-hundered rhinos alive. Today there about step-by-step rhinos still alive according to experts. If the killings continue the white rhinos will be extinct in the near future. Do you think this killing should continue?

ReplyDeleteI totally think the killing should stop, LONG LIVE THE RHINOS! These creatures deserves to live. I went online and found out that their location is southern Africa and Kenya. I'd also like to mention that their population is about 20,000. Did you know they have a scientific name! Called the Ceratotherium simum, witch I have never herd of. In my opinion every living thing has a purpose in life. :)
