They Help Fight Poaching
Dog’s are now being used in the battle to stop illegal wildlife poaching and trafficking. A Belgian Malinois named ‘K9 Killer’ is being called a hero for his efforts in hunting down rhino poachers in South Africa. When authorities are alerted to poaching activities, K9 Killer and his handler are air lifted to the area by helicopter. He then goes after them on foot. This incredible dog has helped catch dozens of poachers – ultimately saving hundreds of rhinos. K9 Killer was a recent recipient of the PDSA Award and received a gold medal for his bravery and devotion as a service animal.
