Mutilated beyond belief, the white rhino left to die after poachers hacked off half its face to harvest precious ivory horn

Graphic video of a white rhino that had its horns, tongue, nose and eyes savagely hacked off by poachers has gone viral online - illustrating the brutal damage poachers inflict. Found alive in the Kruger National Park (KNP), South Africa, the rhino's injuries, visible in the video, were so severe the animal had to be euthanised. The video was originally posted in April 2013 and Mpumalanga reported at the time that there had been a sharp spike in intrusions to the national park.
