Rhino poaching update - Arrests and confiscation

November 2012. After the recent slaughter of 7 rhinos on 1 game farm in South Africa's North West Province, 3 men have been arrested by the South African Police Force. One of the men is believed to be a game ranger that worked on the far; experts said it would have been very difficult to kill and dehorn seven rhinos without anyone noticing unless there was some inside involvement.
