To save the South African rhinos from ruthless Asian-funded poaching gangs, the animals’ valuable horns are injected with a deadly toxin and dye in the Greater Kruger National Park. It’s not deadly for the rhinos — but those obsessive Asian men who buy rhino-horn to supposedly ‘cure their penile dysfunction’ won’t be well pleased if they ever eat this stuff!
May 29 2013 – Greg Castle of the Rhino-Rescue Project writes from South Africa that its protected rhinos now are being injected with a toxic dye which is harmless for the animal – but lethal for the Asian males who buy their horns to ‘cure penile dysfunction’. And he wants the entire world to know about it.
Castle writes: “I thought it worth sharing with you that a project to inject South Africa’s Rhino’s horns with a deadly toxin and dye is well under way in the Greater Kruger National Park (incl. surrounding parks in Timbavati, Sabi-Sands, Baluli, Olifants, and others). The process (which is harmless to Rhino), is a last resort to hopefully deter if not ‘neutralise’ the totally misinformed, penile dysfunctional market in Asia by whom virtually all ground rhino horn is consumed with total ignorance.
“There is absolutely no benefit gained by the consumer (as it is merely a concentration of hair). Chewing one’s finger nails or eating one’s hair would derive the same outcome.
“By sharing this amongst as many folk as possible around the world and thereby spreading the news to would be consumers through the power of viral media, there may be a glimmer of hope in ending the Asian demand for rhino-horn, and thereby save our last few surviving animals for the next generation to experience and beyond.

Park ranger Andrew Desmet gunned down, seriously injured in firefight with rhino-poaching gang:
A desperate war for the few remaining rhinos in South Africa is being waged by its park-rangers, fighting against ruthless, international criminal gangs which slaughter these unique animals for their extremely valuable horns. This week, park ranger Andrew Desmet was gunned down and is now in serious condition in hospital.
