Kenya implanting microchips in every rhino to stop poaching
Permalink  

The Kenyan government has decided to implant every rhino in the nation with microchips in an attempt to track and stop poachers. The process will include the sedation of hundred of animals. The chips will allow wildlife officials to track the rhinos and poachers. The endangered rhino is being threatened by illegal killings and this is the solution the country has come up with.

What do you think of the solution Kenya has come up with to stop poachers?

Kenya hopes that implanting microchips in every rhino nationwide will put an end to poaching.

I think that it's a clever solution because now Kenya's wildlife agency will be able to keep better track of their rhinos.

Brilliant. I am glad to see that people are doing things to stop the wrong-doings of all of those savage Ne-er-do-wells.

I think it is a good idea to try and protect the rhinos. This way they can tell where the poachers main target areas are.

I think it's extremely smart and a good way to protect our wildlife and find those who are hurting them...and definetely sounds better than the "dyeing the horns pink and lacing them with non-lethal chemicals" that was mentioned at the end of the article...

This is the best idea they've had so far.

This seems like an effective solution to the poaching problem, hopefully the officials in charge will be able to successfully carry out their duties to slow and possibly end poaching in Kenya forever.

I think it is a great idea, I hope they have enough money to fund it and carry it out.

I don't think that this is going to do anything. The poachers aren't going to stop if there is still a market for rhino tusks. The moment it stops being lucrative is when they'll stop.

I think this is a great idea. These poachers just have no respect for the wild.
