Poaching of rhinos in South Africa for their horns increasing
BANKOK, Thailand, March 8 () -- South African officials attending a conservation meeting in Thailand have warned the poaching of rhinos for their horns could reach record levels this year.So far this year 146 animals have been killed for their horns, they said, a rate that could end up with a total surpassing the 668 animals killed last year.Delegates to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species conference in Bangkok were told rising demand for the horns, believed by Asians to have medicinal properties,[url=http://www.kbcrussia.com/]true religion outlet[/url], is behind the slaughter, the BBC reported Friday.Edna Molewa, South African minister for water and environmental affairs,[url=http://www.fbrecs.com/]jimmy choo outlet[/url], said unless action is taken by 2016 the number of rhinos killed each year would outnumber births."The indication is that if we do more of the same, the same work every day,[url=http://www.kbcrussia.com/]true religion jeans outlet[/url], more of the same will not help us produce a better result," she told the Bangkok conference."By 2016, we will begin to run into trouble, the graph will begin to slide down -- we shall be losing more on a continuous basis."
