Please see the image in the end before reading this post. It is a part of Monday Maul cartoons created for 'The Daily Maul' by New York-based artist Vin Paneccasio.  It is a powerful image that depicts another  shameful act that man commits. I want to share it on this forum as the picture speaks volumes about what poor defenseless Rhinos could do in return (though of course it can never happen), considering the atrocity that man commits on them.

Rhinos have been slaughtered to near extinction to fuel the insatiable demand for rhino horn products in China - and more recently Vietnam - all based on myths about the alleged medicinal properties of rhino horn. Besides the traditional uses of rhino horn, wildlife traffickers are promoting "non-traditional" uses, such as a cure for hangovers and a treatment for cancer. These myths surrounding rhino horn are why rhinos are slaughtered illegally - and why wild rhino populations in Africa and Asia remain under threat. Apparently the newly wealthy in Vietnam also seek rhino horn to display as a status symbol.

Please visit the website (http://www.savingrhinos.org/rhino-extinction-crisis.html) for more information. Please also share information with others to spread awareness and save this animal from man's greed and ultimate extinction. It is time we realised that every living being is an equally important part of the ecosystem.
