Sudan is the last male northern white rhino on earth. He is under armed guard 24 hours a day at Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Laikipia, Kenya, to protect him from poachers. In 2018, he developed an infection in his leg and due to his age, it’s been difficult for him to recover despite 24 hour care.

Standing at 4′6″, 11-year-old Robert Sandifer earned the nickname “Yummy” because of his love for cookies. His old bedroom looked like your average Chicago child’s bedroom - posters of Michael Jackson and Disney characters hung on the wall, but Yummy was anything but your average child. Born in 1983, his mother was arrested over 30 times for prostituting and his father spent most of Yummy’s short life behind bars.

Before the age of 3, he was already known to the Department of Children and Family Services. His body was often riddled in cigarette burns as well as bruises. In fact, Yummy and his siblings were soon removed from his mother and sent to live with their grandmother. By the age of 8, Yummy had given up on school and resorted to a life of crime. He soon began to steal cars and break into houses. When Yummy turned 10, he was removed from his grandmother’s house and sent to the DCFS shelter. Almost as soon as he arrived, he ran away, never to return.

During his short life, he was charged with 23 felonies and 5 misdemeanours, but due to his young age, he never got more than a slap on the wrist. It’s no surprise that after running away, Yummy joined a gang - the Black Disciples. On 28 August, 1994, when Yummy was just 11-years-old, he was ordered to take out a hit. He opened fire on a group of youths, killing 14-year-old Shavon Dean. Before she passed away, she alerted authorities as to who the gunman was - an 11-year-old child called Yummy.
