Vince (22 September 2012 – 5 March 2017) was a Southern white rhinoceros who was killed by poachers inside a zoo in Thoiry near Paris, France.
Vince was born on 22 September 2012 at Royal Burgers' Zoo, Arnhem, Netherlands.
[5] In March 2015, Vince and another rhinoceros Bruno were transferred to Parc Zoologique de Thoiry in France.
[9][10][7][11][12][13] It is likely that this attack was conducted in order to collect the rhino's horns and sell them on the black market.
[10] French Minister Ségolène Royal called the killing a "criminal act".
