According to wildlife officials, some 558 rhinos have been killed in South Africa in 2014, setting the country on course for a gruesome new record number of poaching deaths. Despite stepped-up efforts to curb the scourge, the number of animals killed is around 100 higher than at the same point in 2013, a year which saw a record 1,004 deaths. The vast, tourist-filled Kruger National Park has been hardest hit. "Since January 2014, 351 rhinos have been poached in the park," the Department of Environmental Affairs said. South Africa is home to around 80 per cent of the world's rhino population, estimated at more than 25,000 but alarming poaching figures are threatening the endangered species. Poachers have become increasingly sophisticated, shooting the animals with semi-automatic rifles or poisoned darts before hacking off their horns.
