[QUOTE]It was in most respects a typical heist that happened in Dublin last month. Masked men, roughed-up security guards, $650,000 in stolen booty. But this wasn’t art or jewelry that was stolen. The contraband, instead, was four rhinoceros heads. Or, more specifically, their horns.[/QUOTE] [URL="http://qz.com/82302/theres-a-country-that-will-pay-300000-per-rhino-horn-to-cure-cancer-and-hangovers-and-its-wiping-out-rhinos/"]Rest of article[/URL]
Normally people shoot them so they can get horny, since when have people wanted rhinos for hangovers?
[quote]Rhino horn is also popular among some public officials. ”I can drink a lot of alcohol but I am still sober and strong. I don’t have a headache and I do not feel tired,” Tran Huy Tu, a senior policeman, told AFP, apparently fearless of any consequences. “It’s not legal to buy this stuff, but in Vietnam you can buy anything with money.”[/quote] If you did stay sober after drinking alcohol, then why would you keep drinking it you dumb cunt? Seriously, I all for people believing whatever alternative hasmash they want as long as nobody gets harmed, except gullible idiot's wallet, but one of the most awesome animals to ever walk this planet facing genocide because of idiotic hearsay.
Poor Rhinos :(
Rhinos, Elephants, Tigers, etc. Is there anything they're not wiping out over there?

I read somewhere that museums are removing their elephant tusks/rhino horns from their displays and replacing them with wood/plastic because people actually tried to steal them

No pun intended, but Asian people regard almost all things animal as aphrodisiacs. No wonder the black market thrives on endangered species.
[QUOTE=Persecution;40652819]AIDS?[/QUOTE] We're working on that too, according to recent news.
Ok, normally I'm fairly supportive if someone wants to believe something that was once part of their culture (as long as no one gets hurt) but this is absolute idiocy. Science has shown that rhino horns have absolutely no medicinal effect and yet you still have so many people willing to buy into it that a species of rhino has actually become extinct in the wild.

People need to be taught that its bullshit.

[QUOTE=Persecution;40652819]AIDS?[/QUOTE] Offer $300000 or so per AIDS. Soon it will go extinct.
Make up a rumor that ground poacher skulls cure cancer or something and leak it to the asians. Bam, problem solved.
Old ass news.
