Too enraged to use my own words, I quote from the
free 'E-book' by Dr. William Fowlds at:
http://www.givengain.com/cause_data/images/3213/POACHED-1.pdf
(or in Cantonese! ( 或粵語 ) - http://www.nikela.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/POACHED-Cantonese.pdf)
"Many of the animals poached were being immobilised
with veterinary drugs before having their horns and
underlying skull bones hacked off with pangas and
axes. The assumption is that these animals are under
anaesthetic and so don’t feel anything. I assure you,
they feel; as, in many instances, the amount of drug
used does not kill the rhino. If they don’t bleed to
death, they wake up under circumstances which I am
finding difficult to describe.
I had always wondered why the poachers made such
a mess of the rhino’s faces when their modus operandi
suggested that these were well organised criminals.
The sight of Geza that terrible day brought the
realisation that many of these animals were probably
still alive and responsive to the mutilation that they
were being subjected to; hence the panga marks
chaotically arranged around the facial areas.
My mind was telling me that to keep this animal alive
was wrong, but somewhere inside I felt certain that
the story of this despicable suffering could get to even
the most hardened minds.
The people driving the demand for this bizarre product,
who say they take rhino horn to feel good - surely,
they couldn’t feel good knowing that animals are suffering
to this degree at their hands. If they could, in some way, be made to feel part of the massacre, then perhaps this cruel and senseless killing might stop."

Help stop the kindest result having to be:
"The heavy bullet slammed though his skull, with
the noise and shock wave blasting out across the
landscape, heralding the end to a tortured and agonising struggle."
If the book at the start of this does not open people's
eyes, there is no hope left for our world.
