Another job caused by superstition in China where they believe ground Rhino horn makes them more potent/smarter etc.
Unfortunately for Rhinos they get poached for their horns at an alarming rate. Approx 9500 killed in last decade.
To place this in perspective, by 1970 the South African Rhino population was down to 70,000 now only 27,000.
My solution would be to poison the cut horns and sell it on the black market. When Chinese start realising ground Rhino horn kills or makes you very ill, the market demand should drop. .....Might start a fight with China but that's another mater.
Yeah, similar thing with bear gall bladders. Who ever thought up all that nonsense?
Certainly not the bearsQuote:
