Photo by @shaulschwarz- A dehorned rhino and a calf at the worlds largest breeding farm in South Africa. Until 2008 it was legal to sell Rhino Horn within South Africa. That year 83 rhinos were poached. Then in 2009 in an attempt to stop the poaching the South African government introduced a domestic ban restricting the trade in Horn in the country. That year 122 rhinos were poached in South Africa.
In 2010 there were 333 Rhinos Poached
In 2011 there were 448 Rhinos Poached
In 2012 there were 668 Rhinos Poached
In 2013 there were 1004 Rhinos Poached. Every year since the numbers of poached rhinos in South Africa have been well over 1000 each year. Yesterday, after a long legal battle with John Hume the worlds largest rhino breeder, the governments appeal to keep the ban in place was rejected by a South African Court. Now it is legal to sell horn again in the country. Could this decision bring the poaching numbers back down like they were before the ban was put in place? Or will this horrible trend of rhinos being poached continue and escalate?
