Unable to protect its rhinos from ruthless gangs of poachers, Kruger Park has decided to auction as many as 500 animals to the highest bidder – in “batches of 20 or more,” as the advertisement said. Rhinos are already being darted, captured and relocated to an “intensive protection zone” at a secret location inside the park, while others will be sold to private game farms that can offer greater security. This information comes on the heels of the death of Suni, a northern white rhino in Kenya. Sunis death meant that only six of that endangered species were still alive, and he was one of only two breeding males. Consequently, the species now stands at the brink of complete extinction.
