Rhino Horn Know How

I have found an organisational website that explains clearly the facts vs. the beliefs of rhino horn.

Please take a look at this, it may seem like a lot of reading but in order to be able to have an opinion you must first learn and understand. < http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/episodes/rhinoceros/rhino-horn-use-fact-vs-fiction/1178/ >

This video is also available for further understanding.

This video can be found here < http://www.rhinoconservation.org/2011/03/25/suspected-poacher-shot-dead-after-killing-rhino-in-kwazulu-natal-south-africa/#more-10529 > as well as on < http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxZJ1nN8nLc&feature=feedwll > and it simply explains that rhino horn is made of the same materials as hair and fingernails, but also contains some elements from what the rhino has eaten during it's lifetime.
"Medically, it's the same as actually chewing your nails."

Fortunately on the same page as the rhino horn video, you can see that in 2011 already there have 64 people arrested in relation to rhino horn crimes.
The following post will contain stats of 2011 rhinos so far.
