A rhino has been shot dead by poachers at a zoo in France in what is believed to be the first such incident in Europe. Keepers found Vince, a four-year-old white rhino, in his enclosure at the Zoo near Paris on Tuesday morning. One of his horns had been hacked off with a chainsaw. The African rhino's horn commands high prices on the black market, with about 100 killed every month in the wild. This is thought to be the first time poachers have targeted a rhino living in a European zoo. France outlawed the trade in ivory and horns last year.

Yep. Soon they'll be no wild animals left in containment or the wild.
