Stories like this are very difficult to watch. The mother was butchered for her horn. The time is now
to educate and put pressure on the countries who think that having a rhino horn is a status symbol
or a medicinal cure!
Poachers need to be stopped. They are the worse kind of scum. But to stop this scum you have to stop the demand for ivory. Asian nations, especially, China, is what is driving demand. For all the talk of how smart the Chinese are they need to realize Rhino or Elephant tusks do not enhance their sexual prowess. This slaughter of these magnificent creatures is a reflection on us as a species and not a very good one at that.

It's hard if impossible to change centuries of myth and superstition.
