Two rhino killed on Eastern Cape reserve


Two rhino have been shot and killed by poachers on the Alvin Krull Tyityaba Game Reserve at Haga Haga near East London.

The reserve's Frank Krull says a young bull and a mature female were killed late last week. The poachers were able to remove their horn.

Krull says the green scorpions are investigating and that an anti-poaching unit will be deployed on the reserve.

He said the remaining rhino on the reserve would be dehorned to ensure their survival.

Speaking to AlgoaFM News on Monday, Krull said the only way to prevent the rhino species from being wiped out by poachers was to legalise the trade in the huge stockpile of rhino horn to drive down its value on the global market.
