Here I am with Summer & Arthur who's parents had been recently butchered in front of them & they'd been hacked too! HORROR STORY! They are peaceful & loving animals that make up one of the Big five and in serious need of our help. They're being butchered for their horn. We should all want our kids to see these majestic animals in the wild forever."
