STOP Rhino Horn By The Pound Legislation


STOP Rhino Horn By The Pound Legislation
The Issue
At the current rate of poaching we will lose another 6,000 to 7,000 rhinos. One has to question the wisdom and motivation of this strategy from a conservation perspective. One must question why National leaders in South Africa would allow it to pass in the next two months.
If just 5% of the Asian demand markets consume a mere 5 grams of rhino horn per person per annum the demand for rhino horn would amount to more than 370 tons per year. With the existing animals that would wipe out all but a small percentage.
Chinese Men. Those are the only people benefitting from this slaughter. Chinese Medicine, backwardly believes, Rhino Horn ground into a powder, will give them sexual prowess. The material is FINGERNAILS! Nothing more than what is found in human or any species fingernails.
Will you stop this? Will you let this happen? Stand with the Rhino's. Please sign this petition. The World will thank you for your signature long after you are gone.
