Bad treatment of rhinos | Ana Luiza Damasceno Rodrigues | TEDxKids@PortoSeguroSchool


[Music]

Hi, my name is Ana Luiza, I’m 11 years old.

and her 5th year student

today to talk to you about the bad guys

dealings with jane about ill-treatment of

children were born day and on the traffic of

rhinoceros horns that are worth more than

what gold because you chose this theme and

I chose this theme because it is outraged

watching a report on animals

threatened with extinction and to know that

africa who are killing and in the evenings

to remove the chip and sell them at a price

of gold

you do not know where the dying

number of reborn where the dead in the

south africa does not stop growing

despite the country’s efforts to

combat the trade in horns of the species

last year the average went from 100

death animals per month

the majority occurred in the national park

kruger is the main tourist destination in

south africa safari

these animals are not being hunted

to kill anyone’s hunger

are being killed to feed the

traffic horns of the species that are

marketed in Asia as a remedy

against cancer and the cure of

hangovers

the horn is grated and mixed with the drink

in the form of good as the hunters

illegal to act to slaughter the animal and

remove the horn

usually they act among the

first shot the animal the second

cut the horn and the third is

to diverge if inspection comes

there are heavily armed gangs

including forest rangers

be very well trained to protect themselves

see how these people are

dangerous has no pity or pity what

leads people to kill teaching will be

to repair the selling horns

my research could observe that many

men are driven by poverty

dream about life better for the family

and end up getting involved in this crime a

of them interview said that was shooter

in four trips to the park group b the

who sent him about ten thousand dollars

around 30

thousand reais this is a small part of the

value of rhino horn in Asia

the same can cost up to 250 thousand dollars

in grams

this value is higher than gold and

diamonds

for the interviewee the money served

to take his family out of a cabin

where he lived and would accommodate them in a small

masonry house and buy

some heads of cattle and set up a

neighborhood

he also said he is not proud of

cassarino to be a disc but also

argues that his family could be

going hungry if he did not

you are seeing how poverty generates

this kind of attitude and what we can

do to try to improve this

people who buy could search

how it is made can horns and if really

are effective for the treatment of

diseases

have the good sense to think about the bad guys

treatment with the animals and put

place of government bodies and the

population could start

awareness and clarification of the

the issue so that this problem

extinction and not animal we can not change

the past but we can make the future

win hashtag or horns traffic

rhinos, thank you

[Applause]
