This document contains messages from students in Grade 2V Cotswold class to rhino poachers, pleading with them not to kill rhinos. The students say rhinos are important to them and belong to South Africa, not the poachers. They warn poachers that rhinos are special, there is no real medicine in their horns, and poachers will get in trouble and go to jail. The students ask poachers to stop killing rhinos and say rhinos were made by God to be safe.
