| I came across the Weird Stuff area of Ebay for the first time last night. Two hours later I found myself browsing vintage embalming fluid bottles. |

HEH HEH HEH thats too much, couldnt they auction off one of thier horns or somthing, that would do two things good, make them money and not give poachers a reason to kill them for it.  |

| I have often wondered. Since the rhino horn is made of hair and is of little use to the rhino why don't the wildlife conservationists just drug them all and cut off all their horns. It's not like the poachers won't see the worthlessness of a hornless rhino before they kill them and I'm sure the open market value of a rhino horn would pay for it's live extraction. we could solve the problem with no cost and best of all the tree hugging do gooders would go back to their Hollywood mansions and stop asking for my tax dollars to save the ill tempered lumbering beasts. |

I dont think horns are useless. sometimes they are serve as a weapon. and sometimes they may probally help to attract sex partner.
