Save the White Rhinos of Thoiry Zoo
| ||||
Dear friends, For too long, we've watched trophy hunters mercilessly kill animals in the wild. But a couple weeks ago, they brought the hunt much closer to home — at the zoo. Poachers broke into the Thoiry Zoo in France overnight and mercilessly shot Vince, the 4-year-old white rhino, in the head. They sawed off his horn and were interrupted before they sawed the second horn off. Now the remaining white rhinos at the zoo are in danger. Vince never had a chance against the poachers, since he was trapped in an enclosure. The zoo's security is clearly no match for poachers' greed: one of these white rhino horns can sell for over $200,000 on the black market. Gracie and Bruno, the other white rhinos at the Thoiry Zoo, are targets. It's time the zoo moved them to a wildlife sanctuary. Just 20,000 white rhinos remain today. Gracie and Bruno should live the rest of their lives in unthreatened peace. Thank you for making a difference,
