Three Chinese men have been arrested for trafficking Rhino horns in Namibia as they tried to leave the country.
A total of 14 Rhino horns as well as a Leopard skin were found in
their suitcases. The three Chinese men, charged with possession of
specially protected resources, wrapped the rhino horns in plastic and
foil and loosely tucked them between clothes in the suitcases. The three
were about to board a flight to Hong Kong when their bags were scanned
and the horns were found.
The three Chinese men had visited Namibia several times in the past.
In a separate incident two hand reared six year old White Rhinos were killed on a farm on the outskirts of Windhoek this week.
Total No of Rhinos slaughtered in South Africa to End of December 2021 = 451 Official figures. Note: the number of wild rhinos in Kruger has declined from 3,500 to 2,800 in one year.
