Glad they got the sorry bastards!
 
I wish they could some how chip a rhino horn at birth. Track it if/when, dehorned..... Then death to everyone involved, from the poacher to the broker to buyer. End the nonsense once & for all!
 
They should start a bait car type deal with these horns and gps trackers. Whomever steals them gets busted.
 
Yeah... but you want it to get to the end user/buyer. Cut off the head of the snake. End the demand/economy of.
 
Glad they were caught, thanks for sharing!

Forgive me if this is the incorrect area, I signed up to this forum just now because I wanted to be on the list to purchase a copy of your autobiography. Please feel free to pass my information along to whomever is selling. Thank you so much. I look forward to it!
I like the Tillie in my picture. They are supposed to fit loose (2 fingers inside hat band), have mesh for cooling, and hold their shape after washing.
