Last year 3 black rhinos were brutally shot at Imire Safari Ranch. The good news is that 4 men have been arrested and sentenced to 28 years in prison.
The men were soldiers in the Zimbabwean army and were apparently responsible for the deaths of 17 rhino in the last year, including the 3 that were shot recently at Chivero National Park. Two Chinese men were allegedly behind the poaching, one of whom immediately flew back to China upon the arrest of the poachers. The other one has disappeared.
