Greater one-horned rhinos used to be plentiful in the Indian subcontinent, but now only about 3,000 survive in the wild. Many of them live in the protected Kaziranga National Park, unfortunately this does not matter to poachers. The rhinos were killed in the hills just outside the national park. They animals were forced to flee the park due to flooding.
Those 5 rhinos were killed only for their horns. Two of the rhinos were still alive while the poachers chopped their horns off with axes. It's time to educate people that rhinos should not be killed for their horns; furthermore, the horn does not posses any special healing powers.
People that do such horrible things should be punished severly and by spreading the word we are one step closer. Please sign and spread the word. Thank you!
