One of the Wilderness Foundation’s Indalo members, Shamwari Game Reserve was hit by rhino poachers yesterday morning (Monday, November 7, 2011). Management at the reserve are unable to divulge specific details, but The Herald reported that two rhino were targeted in the attack – a mother and her two year old calf.
Both rhinos were darted, and horns removed. Even the tiny horns of the youngster were hacked off. According to reports, the mother’s face was mutilated by the poachers who tried to remove as much of the horn as possible before escaping.
