Greedy Poaching

Rhino poachers often hunt at night When the Rhino has poor eye sight. These prehistoric creatures Cannot distinguish human features. But with a well-developed sense of smell Fortunately they can always tell When danger or a poacher is close, Thanks to their sensitive nose. Every horn that they take back, And Rhino body that they hack, Is yet more money in their belt, To which no sentiment is felt. Subsistence Poachers who randomly Kill, fit a less important role, Their profit cannot compare, To syndicates with international flair! These professionals are sourced From a military career, Using weapons and tactics that Inflict unimaginable pain and fear. Rhinos are darted from the air, Without hesitation or human care. Some Rhinos are found still half alive, And veterinary surgeons rush to help Them survive, But could these same people perhaps Be involved and accept, These horrific acts, could they in fact, Be suspect? Will Rhinos become extinct, This is a worrying fear, Statistics do indicate that this scenario, Is realistically near! REPOSTING FROM A POEM 2018 WHEN I JOINED POETRY SOUP
