Over 3,873 rhino's have been poached in the past 7 years. There are only some 18,900 white and 2,040 black rhino's left in South Africa, which is home to 75% of Africa's remaining Rhino population. Poachers kill rhino's to get their horns because they believe that they hold the cure for cancer, but this isn't true. Rhino horns are made our of the same substance as our hair and fingernails, so this means that if it really did hold a cure for cancer, we could he chop of our hair and fingernails to eat them and there would be no cancer in the world.
Because of poaching, many species of rhino are already practically extinct, for example, the Southern White Rhino. There are only four left in the world, (Three females and one male) and they are all in captivity because it so to dangerous for them to be in the wild. If you are a child, or even a teenager, the chances of your child seeing a Southern White Rhino are next to nothing. This reason of extinction could happen to so many other species of rhino, and to some it already has. People need to stop killing these amazing animals for impossible beliefs going through there heads. It all needs to stop, and you can help make that happen.
