Two white rhino were found dead this year and a pair of horns from a third was brought in. It is believed that an illegal trade in rhino horn was starting in a small way in the district, but the severe punishments meted out to eight Africans involved in the killing appear to have had a salutary efect and to have nipped the trade in the bud.
