Current Events 2- Rhino Poaching?

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/39307338/ns/us_news-environment/

  South African police arrested 11 suspected rhino poachers earlier this week. The suspects include 2 veterinarians and a game farmer. Game farmer was released on a $140,000 bail while the other 10 were released with $700-$14,000 bails. 204 rhinos were killed this year in South Africa, which holds 90% of the rhino population. Rhino poaching has increased drastically because of the high demand for rhino horns in Asia. There was a peaceful march on Wednesday for the opposition of rhino poaching. Even professional hunters joined in and the Professional Hunters Association of South Africa donated $56,000 towards the cause.

Critical Thinking Question:
Will the rhino poaching stop, and if not, will the rhino's eventually become extinct?
