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. He was the second calf produced by 12-year-old Kwanzaa and her 20-year-old mate Gilou. Vince was born six weeks premature.^[3][4] On 6 November 2012 he was introduced to other safari animals at the Zoo.^[5]

In March 2015, Vince and another rhinoceros Bruno were transferred to Parc Zoologique de Thoiry in France.^[6] He lived in an enclosure with two other rhinoceroses, Bruno and Gracie.^[7] The three animals bonded, and Vince and Bruno, who were the same age, often played together.^[8]

On 5 March 2017, Vince was shot three times and killed by a group of poachers. They removed one of Vince's horns by using a chainsaw, and partially sawed off his second horn.^{[9][10][7][11][12][13]} It is believed^{[by whom?]} that this attack was conducted in order to collect the rhino's horns and sell them on the black market. Rhinoceros horns are used in traditional Chinese medicine and Asian cultures,^[14] and a single horn can be sold for up to $300,000 on the black market.^[15]

On his death, Thierry Duguet, the head of the zoo, said "There has never been a case like this in a zoo in Europe, an assault of such violence, evidently for this stupid trafficking of rhinoceros horns".^[10] French Minister Ségolène Royal called the killing a "criminal act".^[10]
