ROCKING FOR RHINOS

ALEIXO PINTO:

​

I heard about Rocking For Rhinos in 2016, while working in the bush doing close Rhino protection on a farm in Louis Trichardt. Being the avid festival goer that I am, I begged the boss for a chance to work at the R4R Festival, as the company had plans to be there. It didn't happen...

By chance I joined Gareth a year later, not as a member of R4R but in his tattoo studio  as an apprentice, but soon after I found myself roped in and started to help to put together the 2017 Rocking For Rhinos Festival.

I was raised to have a lot of respect for animals. I believe that other animals are here with us, not for us, and they deserve just as much rights and protection a we do.
