Kenya's only female white giraffe and her calf have been killed by poachers on Tuesday, in a major blow for the rare animals found nowhere else in the world, conservationists said.

The bodies of the two giraffes were found 'in a skeletal state after being killed by armed poachers' in Garissa in eastern Kenya, the Ishaqbini Hirola Community Conservancy said in a statement.

Their deaths leave just one remaining white giraffe alive - a lone male, borne by the same slaughtered female, the conservancy said. (Daily Mail)

Every where poachers get away with it, which is why there is no end to it. Stringent laws have to be adopted, and these laws need to be implemented. Same goes for Sri Lankan poachers as well. Some poachers in SL destroy forest reservations, and these poachers sit in the parliment.

What kind of people are these to do such horrendous crimes. These are actually crimes against humanity.

What a brutal crime. A white giraffe. Never heard of it until now. The species should have been protected in a zoo.
