Rhino Poached INSIDE Zoo

A FOUR-YEAR-OLD WERE NOSTER HIS NAME VINCE WHO LIVED IN A
ZOO IN FRANCE WAS UNFORTUNATELY FOUND DEAD EARLIER THIS WEEK.
THIS IS MONDAY NIGHT.
HE WAS FOUND SHOT THREE TIMES IN THE HEAD BE INSIDE OF THE
ZOO WITH HIS HORN CUT OFF APPARENTLY WITH A CHAINSAW.
THE WIRE NOSTRA SECOND HORN HAD ALSO BEEN PARTIALLY HACKED
OFF, INDICATING THE PERPETRATORS HAD RUN OUT OF TIME OR
THEIR EQUIPMENT HAD FAILED.
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS ANIMAL, VINCE THE RHINOCEROS.
WE ARE ALSO GOING TO TALK ABOUT ANOTHER CASE OF POACHING
LIKE THIS BECAUSE THIS IS STILL A WORLDWIDE PROBLEM AND NOW
APPARENTLY IT IS MOVING INTO PLACES WHERE WE'VE NEVER
SEEN IT BEFORE.
THIS IS BELIEVED TO BE THE FIRST POACHED ANIMAL INSIDE OF A
EUROPEAN ZOO AT LEAST THAT WE WERE ABLE TO FIND.
WHY IS IS GOING ON?
ANNOUNCERS SWORDS CAN BE SOLD ON THE BLACK MARKET FOR AROUND
30,000 POUNDS EACH AND ARE PARTICULARLY SOUGHT-AFTER IN
CHINA, WHERE THEY ARE BELIEVED TO HAVE APHRODISIAC QUALITIES.
THAT IS IN CHINA BUT OF COURSE IN MANY OTHER PARTS OF THE
WORLD THEY ARE USED FOR NT, GUN HANDLES, JEWELRY, ALSO TO
THINGS LIKE THAT THAT IT IS SHOCKING THAT THIS HAPPENED.
IT IS INSIDE A ZOO.
IT TOOK PLACE DESPITE SECURITY
CAMERAS AND FIVE MEMBERS OF ZOO STAFF LIVING ON THE SITE.
REMEMBER, GUN PLUS CHAINSAW BUT IT STILL HAPPENED.
IT'S AT LEAST $50,000.
THAT'S A LOT OF INCENTIVE TO BREAK IN.
THE ZOO OBVIOUSLY HAS SOME SECURITY BUT IT IS NOT LIKE
IT IS THE BANK.
IF THERE IS $50,000
LAYING OUT THERE FOR YOU TO TAKE, YOU MIGHT TAKE IT.
DON'T GET ME WRONG, I'M NOT EXCUSING IT.
I THINK WHAT HAPPENED WAS HORRIFIC AND THE MAIN
CULPRITS TO ME ARE NOT THE GUYS WHO DID IT, BY GOD, CATCH
THEM AND PUT THEM IN JAIL, DON'T GET ME WRONG.
THE MAIN CULPRITS OF THE PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE THIS INSANITY
ABOUT HOW THESE HORNS ARE AN EFFORT USUALLY ACT AND ARE
WILLING TO PAY 30,000 POUNDS FOREVER NOSTRA SWORN.
LOOK, THERE ARE THINGS THAT ARE CULTURAL AND I GUESS SOME
LIBERAL SAY HEY, IT'S ALL RELATIVE.
I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE GUYS.
I THINK SOMETIMES OF CULTURE ARE DISASTROUS IN INCLUDING
SOME PARTS OF AMERICAN CULTURE BUT I CAN TAKE EXAMPLES
FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD TO HONOR KILLINGS, HORRIFIC.
SITUATION, SOME WOMEN ARE KIDNAPPED, RATES, THAN THE
FAMILY COMES OVER AND CONVINCES THEM TO MARRY THEIR RAPIST
AND THAT IS A TRADITION.
THAT IS A TRADITION WE COULD DO WITHOUT.
THIS TRADITION OF THINKING THAT HORNS ARE AFTER DIGI ACTS
IS NOT TRUE.
GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULLS.
IT IS NOT TRUE AND TAKE A VIAGRA AND BE DONE WITH IT.
IT IS NOT GOING TO MAKE YOUR PENIS LARGER, IT IS NOT
GOING TO MAKE IT MORE WRECKED.
YOU ARE PAYING ALL OF THAT MONEY AND BUTCHERING THESE
ANIMALS FOR NO REASON.
IF YOU THINK THAT IS PART OF YOUR CULTURE, I'M SORRY,
BUT YOUR CULTURE IS WRONG.
IT IS FACTUALLY INCORRECT.
AND THAT IS TOTALLY TRUE AND THERE ARE A LOT OF ANIMALS,
SHARKS SEVER FOR THE SAME REASON, A LOT OF ANIMALS
SUFFER FROM THE BELIEF THAT THEY HAVE MEDICINAL OR SEXUAL
EFFECTS BUT EVEN IF THERE WASN'T THAT, THERE ARE A LOT OF
PEOPLE WHO REALLY THINK A RIFLE EXCLUSIVE IVORY ON IT OR
THINK THAT FOR A PNO IT'S NECESSARY OR FOR JEWELRY IS
NECESSARY AND I UNDERSTAND THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL
RIGHTLY SAY WELL, IF IT IS HORRIFIC TO HACK OFF A HORN
FROM A RHINO INTO PUT ON JEWELRY THEN ALSO USING LEATHER AND
THINGS LIKE THAT, AND I UNDERSTAND, THAT'S A SPECTRUM.
I'M MOVING ON THAT SPECTRUM BUT AT THE VERY LEAST LET'S
UNDERSTAND THAT THESE ANIMALS ARE FAR RARER THAN IN OTHER
PLACES.
RHINOS HAVE REBOUNDED A LITTLE BIT THANKS TO THE EFFORTS OF
CONSERVATION LIST BUT THEY STILL ARE EXTREMELY RARE THAT WE'RE
GOING TO MOVE ON TO ANOTHER ANIMAL THAT IS EVEN MORE RARE.
CONSERVATION LIST ALSO DISCOVERED THE BODY OF A
SIT OUT TO ONE OF THE COUNTRY'S LARGEST MOST ICONIC
ELEPHANTS DURING A READ TEEN FLYOVER OF A NATIONAL PARK.
HE WAS LIKELY KILLED WHEN HE WAS SHOT BY A POISONED ARROW IN
A POACHING ATTEMPT.
THEY APPARENTLY FOUND THE BODY SEVERAL WEEKS AGO,
CONDUCTED AN INVESTIGATION.
RANGERS RECOVERED HIS LONG HEAVY TEST BEFORE POACHERS CLAIM THAT.
THEY ALSO DETAINED TWO POACHERS BELIEVED TO BE RESPONSIBLE
FOR HIS DEATH ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER RECOVERING AN AK-47
ALONG WITH BOWS AND POISONED ARROWS.
THE REASON HE IS REFERRED TO AS A TASK OR IS BECAUSE THIS
IS NOT NORMAL ELEPHANT, IT'S A RARER TYPE WHOSE TALKS ARE
SO LONG THAT THEY CAN ACTUALLY REACH THE GROUND AND THUS
THEY BECOME A MORE VALUABLE TARGET FOR POACHERS.
IT'S SORT OF TRAGIC.
THIS ELEMENT ELEPHANT WAS NAMED AFTER ANOTHER SITS OUT.
THAT ONE WAS KILLED BY POACHERS IN 2014.
WHEN HE WAS FOUND HIS TASKS WERE MISSING AND HIS FACE HAD BEEN SO
BADLY MUTILATED THAT AUTHORITIES HAD DIFFICULTY IDENTIFYING HAND.
THERE ALSO SOME HORRIFYING NUMBERS HERE.
AS I WAS TALKING BEFORE, THIS IS ABOUT RARITY TOO.
POACHERS KILL BETWEEN 20,000 AND 30,000
ELEPHANTS A YEAR FOR THEIR TASKS.
THAT HORRIFIC NUMBER REPRESENTS SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS
BECAUSE IT ONE POINT IT WAS OVER 40,000
AND LITERALLY MORE THAN 10% OF ALL ELEPHANTS ON THE PLANET
WERE BEING KILLED EACH YEAR AS A RESULT OF POACHING.
BUT THE TESTERS ARE FAR MORE RARE THAN EVEN THESE ELEPHANTS.
ONLY 30 TESTERS REMAIN IN ALL OF AFRICA.
AND ONE WAS JUST KILLED.
AND THEY ARE KILLING THEM FOR THE HORNS BECAUSE SOME GUY
THINKS HIS PENIS GETS A LITTLE LARGER.
JESUS CHRIST DEMAND.
HAVE SOME SORT OF DECENCY.
AGAIN, IF YOU THINK I'M BEING TOO TOUGH ON THE CHINESE HERE,
AS JOHN POINTED OUT, PEOPLE USE IT FOR OTHER REASONS AS WELL
AND OF COURSE EVERY COUNTRY AND CULTURE HAS ITS OWN PROBLEMS.
WE HAD SLAVERY HERE IN AMERICA, THAT WAS A PRETTY TERRIBLE
PART OF OUR CULTURE AND LOOK, YOU COULD SAY LOOK IT WHAT
YOU DO TO YOUR COWS.
ITíS HORRIFIC.
AND PIGS.
ETC.
I EAT
STEAK AND MAYBE I'M A HYPOCRITE TOO AND I UNDERSTAND THAT,
BUT WE HAVE GOT TO STOP KILLING THESE ANIMALS.
THERE IS ONLY 30 LEFT OF THE TUSKERS.
JUST FOR A LITTLE BIT OF PROFIT FOR SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T
EVEN WORK.
IT DRIVES ME NUTS.
SO THEY SHOULD DO A PUBLIC CAMPAIGN TO LET FOLKS KNOW WHO
BELIEVE THIS NONSENSE THAT ISN'T TRUE, STOP MURDERING THESE
ANIMALS FOR WHAT YOU THINK IS YOUR GAIN AND LIKE OUR
RIGHT WING HERE, YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN SCIENCE, YOU
DON'T BELIEVE IN FACTS, THE THING THAT YOU BELIEVE ARE
GROSSLY WRONG AND LEADS TO GROSS INJUSTICE.
I'M SURE IN SOME CASES THEY TRIED.
IN THIS CASE THEY DIDN'T ACTUALLY EVEN GET THE TASKS
AND IT IS GREAT THAT THAT CONSERVATION LIST
ORGANIZATION DOES THIS OVER A BIG AREA OF THIS NATURAL
PRESERVE CATCHING SOME OF THE POACHERS.
THEY BELIEVE THAT THAT POACHING GROUP MAY BE BROKEN BY
THESE TWO PEOPLE BEING TAKEN AND IT IS GREAT THAT THEY DO
WHAT THEY DO BUT IT IS TERRIBLE THAT THE NUMBERS ARE STILL
AS HIGH AS THEY ARE.
