Rhino poachers are becoming domesticated. Not only do they strike more during full moons, but they even poach during daylight. So says a despondent farmer in the Okahandja district who caught two men red-handed on his farm last Tuesday with rhino horns in their possession. He says in the past three weeks, rhino poachers have raided three locations in the central area, poaching and killing rhinos. In addition to his white rhino(s) that were poached, he said that one white rhino was poached and two rhinos were injured in the Kalkfeld area at the end of October, as well as two white rhinos that were poached in the Windhoek area over the past weekend. On the Okahandja farmer's farm, one of the suspects is notorious for running amok in the Etosha National Park. "One of the suspects we have now caught has been released on bail in connection with three rhino poaching cases," the farmer said. The rhino carcass(s) are still being searched for on the farm, but during the arrest the suspects were found with the fresh horns and various poaching equipment. "My son confiscated the mobile phones of the combine harvesters on which were important messages from the driver of the vehicle they were going to pick up," says the farmer. The rhinoceros carcass being searched for is believed to be that of a white rhinoceros cow. His son flies over the farm every day with the girocopter and dogs are also harnessed. One set of horns was confiscated from the suspects, the longest of which the farmer said was 15 cm long. "We dehorned our rhinos last year and we suspect it is the horn of a white rhino cow." Sponge is wrapped around the shoes to prevent spur cutting. No praise is heaped on the Namibian authorities with the farmer claiming that there is a lack of urgency on the matter.
