RE: Rhinos - Defenceless giants
Thank you @mobbs. The situation with rhinos is very near to my heart.
I hear what you're saying and in part I understand. It’s just plain reckless to take on a hippo, but for me, policy went out the window when they started poaching them to near extinction. Why should rangers etc. keep a non-interference policy when poachers keep breaking the law?
You'll have to be the voice of reason with this one because I’m beyond reason.
I’m so happy that China is doing their part for ivory. Every bit helps. I just wish we can get Vietnam and Taiwan to stop paying $300 000 and up to $650 000 per kilogram for rhino horn. It’s KERATIN for Pete’s sake (like hair and hooves!) It won’t make you virile and it most definitely doesn’t cure cancer. Anyway….
I can’t believe that it’s too late. I don’t want to. We have to keep fighting and hoping.
