Well..ahem....ooby, i understand that we men are disgusting but still women like us too much. So, i guess we men will hang out on the planet earth as long as women live here. dunno:

Anyway, on a serious note, it is indeed a matter of great concern. But this is very much in "ugly nature" of men to take control of the "things" in this world even if it means sacrificing the very things they want to control
I've read so many articles about how "law enforcement" has seized literally tons of Ivory and Rhino horn only to wind up grinding it into dust and or burning it as though this will be sending some kind of message to consumers of these products. This has got to be the stupidest decision ever made in the field of wildlife conservation. The people making these choices obviously never showed up when they were supposed to be learning economics in elementary school. They are ignorant of the fact that when you reduce the supply of a commodity with a constant demand that the price always goes up. The message they actually sent to the people who trade in these animal products is "hey guess what? We just made you a lot richer by increasing the value of all the ivory and Rhino horn in your possession." They also sent the same message to the poachers. "Hey poachers, it's now way more lucrative to kill endangered species because you'll get more money for the stuff."
epirb: Most people cannot see the big opportunity of farming these animals in an open range situation . Deer antlers brings big money in the same markets . Africans will remain in poverty till the smarten up .

On that VICE show was a fellow who proposed breeding Rhino for commercial use, but it seems nobody's interested. That at least would save the species. I don't think the proposal is all that bad. If they don't do it, the last Rhino will be poached and that's the end of it. Everybody loses.

Humans are evil, yes... we need a plague that gets rid of ONLY the ones that commit animal cruelty. *Gets the plague out* Buahahaha...!!! I didn't do it...
I remember years ago an article that documented the shipment of Rhino's to australia where they could live in peace and be free from the threat of poachers. I wonder how that plan is working and if this couldn't be done on a bigger scale. I don't think it was the "white" Rhino they were moving but the black rhino. Does anybody remember this event?
