A bull rhino and two other females at the reserve are having their horns trimmed during the self-same operation after being dehorned two years ago.
An emotional Ayesha Cantor, who owns the Kragga Kamma Game Reserve along with her husband Michael, said if they did not go this route - their rhino would very likely be killed by poachers. "Our Province is experiencing escalated rhino poaching activities and finding it very difficult to come to terms with the fact that "when and not if" they are coming for our rhino.
We will dehorn them all, take off as much as possible, to lessen the reward.Cantor said trimming the horns of the bull rhino and the other two females was also very necessary. "We have just taken off about 8cm, which is an incredible re-growth in two years.
