Rhino eye problems make them easy target for trophy hunters

South African veterinary doctor flew to Kenya for a mission last February – to conduct an eye surgery on two rhinos, which were believed to have contracted cataracts.

But unfortunately, the planned operation, which was to take place at the Ol’Jogi ranch’s animal theatre in Laikipia County, did not take place after veterinary doctors declared that the wild game’s eyes were damaged beyond repair.
