Dear friends,

Stop the Rhino Killers

Poachers are slaughtering Indian rhinos and unless the killing stops now this majestic animal could disappear in a decade. The government is finally paying attention but words alone won’t save the rhino. Let’s get the government to invest and save the rhino before it’s too late.

The government had let the poachers run riot by removing rangers from the world heritage Kaziranga National Park. Popular pressure forced them to bring back some experienced staff, but the rangers are up against ruthless Rambo-style poachers carrying AK47 assault rifles. Park staffers are saying that they need more men and better equipment to stop the killings, but the system is reacting too slowly. If we get behind these rangers now with a massive public outcry, we can force the Central Government to provide Assam with enough resources to rescue our rhinos from the butchers.

Sign this petition to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, elected from Assam, telling him to deploy the right resources and manpower immediately to protect the rhino. When over 50,000 of us sign, Avaaz will deliver one life-sized rhino to his office. Sign now!
