there are a lot of horrendous stories in the news these days about rhinos being slaughtered. in vietnam the sumatran rhino was entirely exterminated for want of the horns. rhinoceros horn is worth much more than gold, so the trend is daunting. african black rhinos are down to about 3,000 and virtually all of the "product" is going to china, therefore i added chinese text to this poster which says: warning! use of rhino horn will poison your soul. in this image i imagined a baby rhino standing beside his mother as she was mown down by poachers. though splattered with blood, somehow he has survived. for how long? (as always, one third of my proceeds from all of my work goes to animal welfare).
