Poachers behind the Wednesday night massacre of four rhinos at Inverdoorn private game reserve north of Cape Town sawed off a fake and worthless fibreglass horn from one of the animals they shot.

In a press release on Thursday, Inverdoorn owner Searl Derman said he and the reserve’s management and staff were traumatised after an anti-poaching patrol found the rhinos. One was pregnant and had her horns hacked off.

Derman said the incident came when the wildlife tourism industry was being decimated by “continued unjustified international travel bans”. At about 2am on Thursday, an anti-poaching team found the fifth “painfully injured” female rhino that was shot in the face.
