Original text on this topic:
On a recent trip to Zimbabwe I came across the carcass of a 5 year-old black rhino which was one of the first dehorned ones in Matusadona National Park on the southern shore of Lake Kariba. The rhino had been killed within days of its horn being cut off. There are only 15 black rhinos left in Matusadona from a population estimated at more than 150 two years ago.
