Save Rhino

by Arushi Madan | 27-04-2013 21:30 recommendations 0

Please share the truth about rhino horn and help stop the illegal slaughter of rhinos ... before it's too late.
Although rhino horn has no medicinal properties, myths about rhino horn still persist. These myths surrounding rhino horn are why rhinos are slaughtered illegally - and why wild rhino populations in Africa and Asia remain under threat.
We need to teach people to stop thinking of rhino horn as a valuable commodity and start focusing on the facts. Rhino horn has no medicinal properties, no curative benefits, and no magical powers. Rhino horn is NOT a remedy for fever, pain, arthritis, or any other medical condition. Rhino horn does not cure cancer - and it is not an aphrodisiac. Yet these myths are behind a thriving illegal market in rhino horn - and have made rhinos one of the world's most endangered species.

January 2008: One female Indian Rhino suffered for 35 hours before she died. Her calf was murdered, and as she stood over her dead calf, she was shot twice and her horn was removed while she was still alive. This murder occurred in Kaziranga National Park, India

    This is really sad. Poachers should be punished harshly. But they are supplying a demand in the market. Authorities need to control the trade and ban the sale of the end products as well.
