Authorities losing fight against rhino poaching - ROA

Eyewitness News | 1 Hour(s) Ago

The Rhino Owners Association (ROA) has warned that authorities are losing the fight against rhino poaching.

Three rhinos were attacked and one was mutilated for its horn at the Aquila Game Reserve in the Karoo at the weekend.

The association's Pelham Jones said these syndicates will strike again.

“We are dealing here with organised crime syndicates. They will...look for any opportunity that they can. Anybody who thinks they are off the radar and are not vulnerable to these barbaric criminals are sadly very naive,” he said.
