Dehorning Rhinos






We helped dehorn rhinoceros at a Rhinoceros farm. In South Africa, rhino owners dehorn them to prevent poaching because the material in the rhino horns are worth alot of money there. Each of us vet students had a job. For this specific rhino I was holding the IV fluid bag while they would dehorn the rhino. All of the rhino's were darted with an anesthetic and tranquelizer prior to this.
