White rhinos killed by poachers in South Africa widlife park for their horns

Workers at the Sibuya Game Reserve, a South African wildlife park, have been "devastated" after poachers killed two rhinos and left another one fighting for his life. The reserve has released gruesome photos showing the aftermath of an attack by "ruthless" poachers, who attacked the animals for their horns.
This has been reported in news.sky.cm dated 26 March 2016.

Poachers kill white rhinos of a South African private wildife park for their horns. There were two white rhino cows that were found dead, while a bull had suffered serious injuries after his horn was sawn off. In addition, two young calves were left orphaned.
The owner of the park has revealed on Facebook that he was on patrol with an anti-poaching security unit when he discovered the rhino carcasses. He has also described how police and vets had been working round the clock to investigate the crime and save the surviving rhino. He has also asked the authorities to boost their efforts against the poachers.
As he has said - these poachers are professional highly resourced syndicates and if there is a genuine desire to stop this scourge there is a need for a better and more specialized rhino unit.
While the bull was "fighting for his life" with facial injuries and serious internal leg injuries, the two calves had been moved to Shamwari Game Reserve's rhino rehabilitation enclosure, where specialist vets are attending to them.
Incidentally, there are about 20,000 southern white rhinos left in the world, and most of them are in South Africa.
