Urge the UK government to do more to stop Rhino poaching.
At least four rhinos are killed on a daily basis due to poaching and butchered for their horns ( which is the same material as our fingernails)
In 2016 1054 rhinos were killed in South Africa alone. The rhinos have to suffer in agonising pain for days. If nothing is done Rhinos will be extinct.
In South Africa alone from 2007-2014 rhino poaching rose by 9000%
Rhinos could be poached into exctinction as early as 2025.
In 1970 there was an estimated 65,000 black rhino now there's only 5000
The rhino horn is made of keratin the same as you're fingernails toenails and hair.
A rhinos death is not quick neither humane with many rhinos in severe pain for days.
These animals need our help to survive and the UK government can help do that.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do to stop rhino poaching.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
