LUSAKA (AFP) - Poachers have shot the last two white rhinos in Zambia, killing one and wounding the other, in a night operation at the Mosi-Oa-Tunya national park in Livingstone, an official said Tuesday.



The shooting of the two endangered animals in a heavily-guarded zoological park near Victoria Falls in Zambia's tourist resort town of Livingstone took place last week.

"I can confirm that one of the white rhinos was shot dead by suspected poachers. The other one was wounded and is undergoing treatment," said Maureen Mwape, spokesperson of the Zambia Wildlife Authority (ZAWA), which would be investigating the shooting.

The dead female rhino's horn was apparently removed.

Zambia's white rhinos were all killed by poachers but the government managed to acquire six from South Africa in 1993, of which the injured male is the last to survive.

doubtful the last but still shitty :(

Last in that country. There about maybe a dozen left in the world. Most in zoos.

umm :error :helpme

u got some hidden white rhino's the rest if the world doesnt know about ? :winkwink:

oh haha your right im such a moron lol damn decieving yahoo news titles :1orglaugh

Thats shitty mate. Bad news

my bad.. i stayed up late last night . :1orglaugh

I believe they are saying the injured male was the last of the 6 acquired by Zambia from South Africa.

Not the last in the world.

These things happen.

Very smug to sit and worry about the last white rhino when all you have to do is pop down to the local supermarket to buy groceries.

Now imagine you're living in Africa, your kids are starving and you don't have any food or money to get food. And a guy offers you 1 years wages to shoot a rhine.

Simple choice, rhino or your kids.

smug? :1orglaugh

this was a professional poacher, its a heavily guarded zoo, & you don't pay attention to detail

if the poachers wanted food, they could obviously go out & shoot it

simple choice.

shoot you or read your stupid posts.

simple.

Well except the fact it's ILLEGAL.


Also if a man's and his family are living in the desert and starving, here's a tip. LIVE WHERE THE FOOD IS!!! MOVE OUT OF THE FUCKING DESERT!!!! IT'S SAND!! NOTHING GROWS THERE!!!! NOTHING IS EVER GOING TO GROW THERE!!!! IN 100 YEARS, GUESS WHAT IT WILL STILL BE SAND!!!

good point paul.

gator try being poor and moving out of the country....n/m the continent

your stupidity truly has no bounds.

I vote for the kids. No shortage of those.

There's one (hard) solution to all this: improve the local economy? How? Lower taxes, encourage foreign investment, focus foreign aid to schools not bullshit project, elevate the general education level, reduce tarrifs, etc. Create a vibrant economy so people don't have to kill the earth's biological patrimony for some chump change.

(end of rant)

I've been poor. If I lived in the desert I walk to where I could find some fucking food. If global warming floods most of Florida are you going to live on a boat or are you moving north?

Yes and that's another reason why theya re starving. Can't afford to have ONE kid let alone a litter of them.

The first humans came out of Africa. some went north and started what is Europe, some went east grew rice. Africans stayed in the dirt huts, and they are still living like they did 300.000 years ago. Some still don't know how to use a wheel, and yet they blame the white man. guess who are killing black people... its black people.

The prisoner's Great britain send to Australia have had one THOUSANDS of the same time, and they build a nation, while the Africans still sit on their asses. 2000 years from now we will still be sending them food, and they will still be killing each other.

Call me a racist if you want - im telling the truth weather you like it or not.

Thats an askew view of the situation, imho.

There are many choices in between the two... including selling whatever equipment you'd need to commit this crime and feeding your family in Africa for 3-5 years instead.

:2 cents:to Sam Kinison

And you are quoting me why?

Yep it's him. He's dead. We shared the same birthday its's all cool. :thumbsup

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

damn thats fucked up :\

well...lets atleast take the dna so we can clone them

No, no, some monkeys with a mind came out of Africa and evolved into humans. The rest of the monkeys stayed behind and made a pastime out of killing each other.

ha thats what i thought it was from :pimp

Because I agreed with you

"News Stories
- Poachers kill one of last two white rhinos in Zambia
- Sawfish protection acquires teeth
- Greenpeace says Indian port killing rare turtles
- Rare monkey stolen from zoo in Brazil"


Huh. All I can say to the world is call us "dirty pornographers" if you must, but at least we're not out there killing the last remnants of any endangered species. :warning

Or kill the evil guy offering $1000, rid the world of a bad guy, take the $1k, feed your kids and save an endangered species. Which makes more sense?

haha

paul rocks. making fun of him at his expense in poetic ways, god save us all. and the porn too!

thats a good one
