Desperate measures
In 2011, horn poaching reached record levels, mostly due to demand from China and Vietnam.In March 2013, some researchers suggested that the only way to reduce poaching would be to establish a regulated trade based on humane and renewable harvesting from live rhinos. The WWF however opposes legalization of the horn trade, as it may increase demand, while IFAW released a report by EcoLarge, suggesting that more thorough knowledge of economic factors is required in order to justify the pro-trade option.
I am not sure if making this trade legal is right or wrong, but other efforts have not really worked to be honest.
This is the only time I have photographed a Wild Rhino. I am not sure If I will ever see them again in the wild. But who ever reads this and you believe that Rhino horn helps with whatever is that you think it helps with, imagine if your fingers were cut for your nails cause that is all this is...Stop killing Rhinos!!!
