Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Kenya to microchip
every rhino in anti-poaching drive
Planting a microchip
to a rhino? This lofty plan is designed to protect the wild animal from being
poached and also to trace poachers when they carry the animal’s horn. Although
the microchips and scanning devices were contributed by the World Wildlife
Fund, WWF, the task to catch and implant the chips to this wild animal is going
be enormous.
Poachers kill
rhinos and elephants just for their horns and ivory, which are highly valued in
Asian countries for ornaments, chopsticks or medicine. Money drives such
ruthless, heartless and careless killing of wildlife animals on the land and
creatures in the sea, such as fins of the shark just for delicacy. Are those
poachers punished hard enough for such a crucial deliberate act?
Enjoy reading and
learning the effort being made to protect the wild life.
