Sometimes it’s not until you don’t see what you want to see, that you truly open your eyes.

Way to go 
God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

Re: Update: Timbi
Obviously these captive rhinos don't breed well.
I doubt that these rhino "rehabilitations" will be successfull unless you could release them back to the their natural habitat which obviously does not happen once the calves entered one of these sanctuaries. What's the point of breeding rhino there? Rather invest the money in protecting the rhinos in their environment

It is pretty experimental stuff, Klippies!
Yes, ideally there would be no poaching and no orphans?
They are reintroduced eventually, to safe areas.
