BLACK SPRING DAY: Rhino Poaching Awareness
Wear the badge during September to bring awareness of the rapidly depleting Rhino population in SA.
Now, traditionally Spring is a happy day when companies and people wear bright, joyful colours. SA should all wear black on Spring, 1st September and tie a black ribbon to the right hand mirror of their vehicles or motorbikes. The idea is that it should symbolise the following;a) We are fed-up with poachers and the leniency showed in their prosecution and sentences including affording them bail.
b) In memory of ABSA and all the other Rhino's that were killed so senseless for their horns.
c) To symbolise that the future is black for our Rhino population because our government shows lack of interest in fighting this?
Please, please wear BLACK on 1st September 2011 and tie a BLACK ribbon around the right hand mirror of your vehicle. Spread the word. PLEASE join in this campaign! If you have contacts in the media – please help us

Our Horn is NOT MedicineAll donations go directly to SANPARKS. Donations are needed in order to train, equip and employ field rangers in the Kruger National Park. This is where most of the worlds population of Rhinos reside. The best way to keep these animals safe is by getting more Anti-poaching units out in the bush. Please understand that this is a war that we can win, but only if we stand together. Go to --Ourhornisnotmedicine.givengain.org-- You can make a donation there. And never forget that there is no such thing as a "small donation". Please share this post with all your friends. Companies and schools are also welcome to get involved.
