Original text on this topic:
A forest officer in Medan reported that he had seen a rhinoceros which had been trapped in central Atjeh and which had the horns and other preferred parts cut away. The carcass was covered with a crude shelter awaiting the return of the trappers to carry away the remainder. This is an example of the attitude of the natives toward certain wild animals.
