I love animals and it is just sad to hear this kind of story.

Poachers have shot the last two white rhinos in Zambia, killing one and wounding the other, in a night operation at the Mosi-Oa-Tunya national park in Livingstone.

The shooting of the two endangered animals in a heavily-guarded zoological park near Victoria Falls in Zambia's tourist resort town of Livingstone took place last week.

The dead female rhino's horn was apparently removed.

it's not that difficult to understand how the ppl got in... it was probably an inside job... the guards were paid? ?____?

Oh, these stories are so sad. People trying to profit at whatever cost. Just because they're animals themselves.

Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation quoted that it is difficult to understand how the animal was shot dead Wednesday night even with armed game scouts guarding the rhino 24-hours everyday.
