Anti-Poaching
Anti-poaching is a very important aspect to the protection and preservation of wildlife. A Northern white rhino stands guarded by rangers at Ol Pejeta Conservancy. Two females and one male reside at this conservancy in Kenya, Africa. Also one female rhino resides in San Diego Zoo. The Northern White rhino, (Ceratotherium simum cottoni), is on the brink of extinction. The loss of this subspecies is due to the massive poaching over the years.
Anti-poaching enforcement is needed because of the demand from Asia. There are those who lust after rhino horn for medicinal purposes and elephant tusk for the ivory to carve into whatever suits them.
However, it is not only these two species that are in danger. There are many types of animals that are poached for varies reasons, most prominent examples, gorillas and chimpanzees, regarding the trade in bushmeat or the trade in body parts used for souvenirs or trophies.
Anti-poaching units details men and women who need to be specially trained in combat, and equipped with high-tech equipment. One of the best allies these units have are the K-9 units. It is been a proven fact that poaching decreases when these specially trained dogs are used in the field.
The poachers they are combating have the advantage, they can afford to buy high-tech equipment that will help them slaughter rhinos and elephants. The rhino horns and elephant tusk help fund their missions for even more.
There is strong evidence that elephants are being brutally killed to fund terrorism in Africa.
At the present rate, there is no doubt that elephants are on their way to extinction in Africa. From 96–100 elephants are killed daily. It looks to be inevitable that Africa will lose all her elephants within 10 years.
It is also important to keep in mind the suffering these animals endure. They are killed with an AK-47 shot in the head or at the knees so they cannot run. In many cases, rhino and elephant mothers are killed leaving behind their defenseless babies. The good news is that when babies are found in Kenya, they have a safe haven to go, David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. But the truth is, it is very traumatic for these babies to lose their mothers. In some cases the trauma is too great and causes the death of the innocent little one.
“Animals are not property or "things" but rather living organisms, subjects of a life, who are worthy of our compassion, respect, friendship, and support.” - (Mark Bekoff, Minding Animals)
Our mission entails raising money for equipment that will enable anti-poaching units to do their job at the highest level.
