Whats-his-name who owns Howletts wanted to reintroduce rhinos back into the wild
first removing their horns. Not sure how I feel about it. I suppose if it thwarts poaching that's cool, but it seems depressing we have to manage a species so, just to prevent them from being wiped out.

it's certainly not an ideal solution
and dehorned rhinos are known to have been targeted too.
btw have you watched this report? www.youtube.com/watch?v=padJKnNkgKg

Grim viewing
I actually had to photograph a huge chunk of rhino horn a while back, it was sobering stuff holding it in my hands.

it's really depressing eh?
better to be hornless and wild than horned and only exist in zoos i guess. we're a shitty species in many ways.

You'd need a fucking big saucepan to poach that.
Look at the size of the fucker.
