http://www.news24.com/Green/News/Poache ... a-20130111 This is just very sick. I know these things are very disturbing to read, but it's something I think people should be aware of.

You might say the poachers got to the meat of the issue.

It's sad that something like this would happen.

What makes it all the more heart breaking was how the baby was trying to just go to it's dead mother, when those greedy, heartless bastards hacked at it. I'm glad the calf survived and is doing well.

I can't even stand to hear jokes about animal or child cruelty.

Since she was only two months old, she doesn't have a horn yet. Otherwise, they might well have killed her, too, for whatever she had. Last I saw, they said she was pretty shaken up, but is doing better. http://news.howzit.msn.com/news-in-pics ... =5#image=5
