Annual Report, 1935

Poaching of elephant and especially rhinoceros by natives is on the increase. One does not blame the hunter so much as the sophisticated individual who encourages this illegal traffic in ivory and horn by holding out monetary gain if trophies are procure

Poisoned arrows are responsible for most of the killing, but a muzzle-loader in a native's hand over a waterhole at night at a few yards range is a deadly weapon.

During 1935, 55 Rhinoceros were shot by the Department when they entered fields.

1937, Tanzania, Horn is bought by receivers from native poachers at a price varying from 1s 50c to 2s per lb. As its market valkue at present is 12s per lb. even if it is disposed for only half the market value a very handsome profit is made
