"I wish I was surprised, but these animals are so brutally targeted," said Cece Sieffert, deputy director at the International Rhino Foundation, which supports rhino conservation in African and Asia. "Wildlife crime is run by organized crime syndicates with very complex networks of middlemen moving rhino horns from Africa and India to networks in Southeast Asia. With the poaching crisis at such an alarming rate, it was sadly only a matter of time before these animals in zoos and other protected areas were targeted."
