“Protect” By Jennifer Sanchez Another’s love is far greater than the love of a mother and her child. They are the lucky ones until someone takes that bond away from them permanently. This is a painting dedicated to one special white rhino. His name is Arthur and he’s one rhino that’s been through something baby animals and even our own children should not bare witness to in a their lifetime. As he was feeding on his mother’s milk, greedy, heartless humans came for the ivory from his mother’s horns. Arthur did all he could to protect his mother at his small age, but the poachers attacked him with a machete.He had a cut on his right front toenail and a 4 inch gash on his back which was close to his spine. Usually the instinct many animals would follow is running away, but this is one rhino who did not want to run. He stood his ground to protect his mommy. A vet from Care for Wild Rhino Sanctuary and the SANPark Section rangers came to his aid even though Arthur’s mother was deceased. A team at the sanctuary were on standby for Arthur’s arrival. It was all hands on deck to help little Arthur. After days of him healing, he was calling out for his mother. Grief is what many of can describe as we know wether we are mother or even a child. The poaching epidemic needs to end otherwise there will be many more orphans to come. No love is more important than that of a mother and their child. Even if your not a mom but your still a parent to either your child, sibling or even your own pet the love you have between each other is a bond not to be broken. When the buying stops the killing can, too. @careforwild #careforwild #rhinoorphans #rhinoorphan #orphan #orphanrhino #whiterhino #rhinocalf #rhinopoaching # https://www.instagram.com/p/BmhQKz0Hk5J/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19p0wgl4udowp
