        The fact that the only noun in this 9-word sentence is "rhino" speaks volume about the threat of poaching!

        Extinction is a natural process and no one can stop it. The death of this rhino follows the laws of nature.

        Why can't it be procreated with the level of our technology? While will it be left to be the the last?

        As I said earlier, the issue is poaching!! We kill them with haste and greed forgetting the consequences. Lab manufacture of such species will enhance continued disregard of there existence since they can be arquired anyhowly in any lab

        Just so sad - humans have to take responsibility for the loss of such beautiful animals. The countries like #china and others that perpetuated the #ivory trade need to be held to account, even if they now 'ban' it. They are culpable.
