This article becomes a bit preachy about veganism, but the event (and broader zoo culture) sparking the article should definitely be brought to light and talked about.

The western black rhinoceros resided primarily in Cameroon, but recent surveys have failed to locate any individuals. On November 7, 2013 it was declared extinct by the IUCN.
