No so much about the Chinese thinking that animal keratin has special magic properties.
But that the poachers themselves are so short sighted that they can not see that they will be out of a job and be getting no more money in the future if they kill of all the rhino species.

RHINO HORNS CURE CANCER SHUT UP

This saddens me, as a wildlife major that can focus is wildlife conservation. This is why there should be a major committee in the world that goes over this type of stuff about wildlife conservation, and actually cares about stuff like this.

Edited by TGI Skuldier: 6/5/2014 2:13:51 AMCan we just start cloning rhinos? Worked with Dolly.... Granted there's the whole thing about trying to sustain a population based on a very small genetic pool but still...

I say we should make these hunters the hunted if you know what I'm sayin

Why can't there be some nutcase african warlord who just spends all of his time brutally murdering poachers? These -blam!-ing retards, it's the goose and the golden egg. Do you think that tourism and conservationism will benefit your area more than getting a few hundred dollars for a rhino horn? No? Then kindly blow your own -blam!-ing brains out you stupid mother-blam!-er.

Seeing dead rhinos gives me a case of rigor mortis. [spoiler]In my pants. [/spoiler]

I'm so sick of this conservationist shit. I will personally hunt down and kill every last Rhino, Elephant, Buffalo, Tiger, and damn near everything else if it will shut you up. The reason these animals died is because they couldn't defend themselves against a smarter enemy. They are no exception to the laws of fair battle. As for the children, I could give shit less if my child ever gets to see a Rhino or not. If it was an option, I would kill all of any race of humans too. The fact of the matter is if you can't kill, you shouldn't have something I want. If I'm in it for something that grows out of your face, learn to use a damned gun. *Takes a deep breath* However, it is very sad and unfortunate that these Rhinos have been killed. [spoiler]By someone other than me.[/spoiler]

That's just sad. Imminent extinction.

>kill all the rhinos for money >no more rhinos to kill for money Dat logic. Seriously, why don't the poachers start breeding the things?

Edited by Morgan Freeman: 6/5/2014 1:58:51 AMEuropeans, particularly Brits, pretty much wiped out most game around them. Then they moved on to the New World and killed off a bunch more species. Now that us Westerners have learned from our mistakes we try to force others to conform. While sad I don't really blame these people. They're just trying to make a living in a tough place and a rhino horn can bring in a lot of money.

Your pathetic obsession astounds me, Methew.
-
Some nation's government needs to outfit Rhinos with bullet-proof armor and strap 4 .50 cals to their backs and train them to use the guns. Would love to see the results.
-
Wait There are still rhinos in the wild right? This is just in that country right?
-
thats so racist
-
Savages, -blam!-ing savages. I am beyond pissed right now.

The -blam!- of a language are you speaking? Are you just pulling words out of your ass randomly like a Bingo machine and posting the order in which you shit them?
