It don’t matter if you’re black or white!

This year, Cape Town Pride is hosting their annual parade with the theme “Love your diversity”. As rhino-lovers, we’re going to be showing our support, by “Loving our Biodiversity” and raising some much needed awareness for our endangered rhinos!

So come and join our float on Saturday 5 March from 11am – 1pm! Join the fun and show your support by marching next to our giant rhino float. You know it’s going to be the best in show 😉

We’ll be giving everyone a free t-shirt or vest and a funky placard highlighting the plight of our horny friends.

Please bring as many of your friends and family as you like – we’ll get T-Shirts made for them too as long as you let us know sizes before Friday 18 February! The more the merrier!

In 2010 there was nearly one rhino killed every day in South Africa. No longer will we tolerate images such as this (not for the weak stomached):

  1. Why are people so bloody greedy! I hate the idea of POACHERS killing innocent animals.

    Wealthier continents/states seem to endorse ‘ripping off’ other countries of their JEWELS – i.e.animal parts,trees,Iron and steel- making MINERALS and a whole lot more! Its like a Rich man going over to a starving boy and saying “give me the clothes off your back – and I’ll give you some food” AND EVEN WORSE than that! What is the world coming to?

    I don’t hold a great deal of hope for mankind at present (with World economy and WHO CONTROLS IT, but the simple man can only try and protect his/her environment as best he/she can.

    1. It’s truly scary what we humans are capable of. But conversely, if we put our minds to it, we are also capable of amazing things. Let’s just hope that enough people will wake up to the danger and rise up in defense of our natural heritage.

  2. It is excellent that a company is so out with conservation. Well done. The Rhino is a magnificent animal and needs to be saved. Kudos to you.
