#WildlifeWednesday Pink Poison & Saving Rhinos from extinction. With over 200 #rhinos already dead this year at the hands of #poachers in #SouthAfrica and no signs of the slaughter slowing, some innovative #rhinoceros lovers are stepping up their game.

#Wildlife workers at #SabiSand, a private game reserve in #KrugerNationalPark, have injected a special #cocktail into 100 rhino #horns, turning them pink in an effort to deter #illegal horn #hunters.

The pink dye can also be #detected by #airport scanners, even when the horn is ground into a powder to make the high-priced #traditional "#medicines" that help fuel the killing of rhinos. The hope is to make #transport of the illegal #product that much riskier.

The indelible pink dye is mixed with parasiticides usually used to control ticks. Though it's not meant to kill poachers and consumers who ingest the powder, it does have some pretty nasty side effects, including nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Ironically, these are some of the symptoms which rhino horn is incorrectly believed to alleviate. (Rhino horns contain nothing more than the same keratin found in fingernails.) This may be exactly what needs to be done to save these amazing #creatures from #extinction. #WorldAnimalNews @peace_4animals #GiveMeShelter #ISupportGiveMeShelter
