Well, if you manage to secure a rhino horn by stalking and killing the creature without being gored, stomped or crushed, you probably have already forgotten what ails you; hence the ‘cure.’ The age old practice, then, is simply mainstream salesmanship and the ‘Walmart’ effect on consumption.

It doesn’t win the Senate for the GOP either.

Bummer. When I sober up I’ll have a tough time explaining to my wife why I have all these Rhinos in the backyard.

Having seen African wildlife up close and personal I’m disgusted by anyone...Westerners,Asians,Middle Easterners...who insist on elephant or Rhino horns for whatever useless purpose they have in mind.

In one human study, researchers in Taiwan found that rhino horn temporarily reduced fever in children, but it was no more effective than aspirin.

Unlike rhino horn, aspirin can cause stomach upset, unless taken with blue whale eyelid tea.

Isn’t a rhino’s horn made up of dried mucus? All it would cure me of is my last meal.

Actually it is a cancer treatment. It just doesn’t work.
