Nonbinarhinos.

Same ole story. Moronic, evil humans.... trying to play God by mucking around with nature, and thus creating more negative and evil end results.... all because other evil men are doing evil things (like poaching). How DOES God put up with us? Seriously.

Couldn’t they put a prosthesis horn on? You know maybe with a light on the end.

They could drill in a couple of studs and attach one made out of an alloy that would be distinguishable to poachers but not to other rhinos.

I would suggest cutting off rino balls but party evolution already has taken care of that:-)

Absolutely worth a shot. Transrinos.

don’t worry; with luck and good behavior, you might breeze through your 50-year probationary hearing.

don’t worry; with luck and good behavior, you might breeze through your 50-year probationary hearing.

Oh boy! Only 13 more years to go!

Here’s a tip: Consider frequent use of the following phrases:

1. You’re right.
2. I’m sorry.
3. Have some more chocolate.
