RE: The last male Northern white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum cottoni) died this Monday; there are now only females left of the subspecies
Hi @Chetan9,
That makes sense, stop buying. We always hear about the massive efforts done to protect the endangered animals in Africa. But have someone tried to educate the potential customers of that "magical powder"? Am I ignorant and naive if I think that the buyers would stop buying if they had realized what they're purchases caused? I can't imagine someone want to have a "hard one" on the behalf of the last rhino?
Cheers, Erlend
Hi @erlendgroseth. Lots of organizations and people have tried to convince Chinese and Asian buyers to stop purchasing products made from rare animals, but it seems to be pointless. This medicine is just too heavily influenced by their culture, and the current grown-up generation does not seem willing to change at all. Right now it all kind of depends on whether or not the youth generation will keep this cruel thing going or not..
