Merciless Slaugthering

Rhinoceros and elephants
are hunted for their horns...
there are very few extant:
profit has a malicious intent!

Predators are to blame for the merciless
slaughtering...they attack these harmless,
huge animals grazing on the vast plains
of Africa: hear their cry in the wilderness! 

For every animal they kill...
there should be a stiff penalty,
a punitive incarceration until
they realize their cruelty!

It's unlikely that this trade stops,
there'll be more mad hunters
who will terrify these creatures...
while they roam on dry pastures!
