In a fucking ZOO?! What the fuck is wrong with people

So sad and shocking.

Wasn't there a zoo problem in the UK too?

That is shocking. We can't even keep them safe in captivity. Poor Vince.

This has really disturbed me. That poor Rhino, who was bred in captivity and probably trusted humans. Sick Fuckers. I hope they catch them.

Sick bastards to do this, poor animal, it is heartbreaking, just to satisfy Chinese fucking myths

Scum of the earth, I hope they rot in hell for eternity. Poor animal

We went to the zoo today. The handler was talking about tourists that unwittingly buy animal products abroad and contribute to the massacre of these beautiful animals for absolutely no reason at all. Can't believe they're not even safe in zoos now. Every zoo in the world will have to step up its security thanks to this idiocy. Backward fucking bastards and their nonsense. Poor rhino.

I suppose this could mean all rhinos in captivity having their horns removed. It's horrible to even consider but if it saves their lives I think it's the price to be paid

I agree, they need to dehorn every rhino whether in wild or captivity - it seems to be the only way.

Jesus, all we seem to do on this earth is kill animals.

I saw this report yesterday and on the same page was a report about a hippo being stabbed / slashed to death in a different zoo earlier this month ( they are questioning zoo staff!!) and a crocodile being stoned to death in a zoo in Tunis , what is the matter with people , utterly sick .
