so basically they were killed for what is essentially the same material you have in your fingernails.
I am NOT a tree-hugger at all but this is sensleess idiocy and should be prohibitted.
But the problem is not on the SUPPLY end- that just makes it more scarce and more expensive. And rich people are often happy to spend money on useless crap to show they can.
The solution is to farm them, and let free enterprise solve it.

African nations with stability have effectively monetized the wildlife and are doing well with it. Basically its a typical African problem that we aren't going to fix no matter how much money we throw at it by choice or by force.

Actually, a rhino horn is made of hair.
Yes, they were killed for what you cut every 3-6 weeks.

Given the ferocity of a Rhino, and its long gestation cycle, that might be a tad harder than salmon farming.
Not to say it wasn’t a good idea.
