Former England captain Kevin Pietersen has declared a war against poaching of rhinos.Taking to Twitter on Monday, the visibly-upset South African-born cricketer shared a disturbing video showing the poached rhino. “I don’t know what to say. Another rhino poached. Greed,” the teary-eyed cricket legend said. “We flew into a crime scene today. Mother & calf shot dead! This War Needs To Stop!,” he tweeted. He is a champion of the anti-poaching cause and previously told Sky Sports that awareness needs to grow with a rhino getting killed in Africa “every eight hours”.Poaching numbers have skyrocketed in South Africa in recent years with mid-year stats indicating that South Africa is heading for 1000 poached rhino in 2017 – the fifth year in a row where the total will exceed 1000.
