[Poaching in Nepal] started on 27 January when the Central Zoo authorities near Kathmandu discovered that their 15-yearold female and six-year old male, held in separate cages, had both been administered a poison containing zinc phosphide. Only the tiny horn of the young male had been cut off, in a gruesome manner, and taken.
