Brute of a Rhino
(click on the image for a larger version)
Photo Description:
This big boy had been previously de-horned as a preventative measure to deter poaching. Only problem is a lot of poachers still kill them even if they don't have a horn. This way they don't have to waste time following the animal again since it is useless to them.Posted By: pigsticker , Fishing Buddy

Re:Wholey Geebers. One horn can be worth $80,000!!! Wow.
London, Nov 21 (ANI): The cost of rhino horn has left gold prices behind for the first time in ten years. Rhino horn, which has medicinal value, now stands at 36,300pounds a kilo, while gold is 24,600pounds in the markets of South Asia. An average horn weighs 7kg. Killing of Rhinos has also peaked to a new high in 15 years. Two years ago 13 rhinos were killed in South Africa compared to 84 this year. Zimbabwe, India and Nepal have also witnessed a rise in rhino poaching. A Vietnamese minister’s claim that powdered horn could help cancer patients has only increased its demand further. “This latest onslaught shows that we’ll never be able to declare rhinos safe,” the Sun quoted expert Mark Cawardine, as saying.

Re:Ya, pretty scary stuff huh?
Tests conducted show that the horns infact have no medicinal value and equate to "eating your finger nails" since they are mostly made up of Keratin.
