Sporting AK-47 assault rifles and axes, the group of men stalk a black rhino through the African bush. They soon bring it down with powerful volleys. While still alive, the rhino peers at the men as they approach. The poaches quickly use the axe to sever its horn from its head, not caring that they are inflicting great pain as they hit a nerve andleave the rhino dehorned and its head a pulpy mess. It dies, leaving its own family behind because of human greed.
