Rhino horn for a better stiffy. If there would only be a drug that's scientifically proven to do that. Could be any color, like blue.
alexanderthegreater
Poaching is already illegal and heavily enforced. What more can you do besides hanging poachers in the public square?
dagdegan
Poachers are poor people who were promised 100 bucks for a rhino horn. It will stop if WE stop buying shit for superstitious mumbo jumbo.

Rhino horn is mostly consumed/used in Vietnam, not China.
pangyre
I feel the same but that is a terrible choice of places to cry. That rhino is fixing to explode.
Evergrey
I think maybe that rhino was pregnant. Looks like her udders were bagging up.
Mustikat
I really don't get why people keep doing shit like that really pisses mr off! Like do they don't fking have brains...
LoodGookin
Unfortunately, the poachers are poor and see a way to get a lot of money, very quickly, that they otherwise wouldn't be able to.
Mustikat
I get that man! But don't they know if they continue like that there will not be more when the animals disappear!
Trolldeig
And if they don't, they and their families will disappear. I'm not saying I support poaching, but it's not just black and white
Trolldeig
(cause that would be a zebra, and they don't have horns)
Nimbolt
Actually no, stop the trade of exotic products and the prestige we see in the media regarding fashion for fur etc. watch "Racing Extinction"
BradleyNorby
But there are parts of agriculture for fur animals
FortressCraft
Fur in the media has prestige? You've watched 101 Dalmatians a little too often, I think.
chloramphenicolderivative
Saying "stop the trade" doesn't do anything, because it's already illegal and even heavily attempted to be enforced. A better solution 1/2
chloramphenicolderivative
2/2 would be to trim the horns and flood the market to decrease price.
Theman098
They tried that i do think, the poaches killed them anyway and took what was left of the horn.
chloramphenicolderivative
They trimmed the horns, but they didn't sell them, which actually just increases the price. Poachers kills the Rhinos for the last bit 1/2
chloramphenicolderivative
2/2 of horn and to avoid wasting more time on that rhino again.
Theman098
1. attach automated machine guns to rhinos, 2. Load with hollowpoints, 3. ??? 4. profits?
LilSis061016
From a strictly business standpoint, poachers pushing species to extinction hurts their livelihood. Note: poachers = horrible, also stupid.
flassk
right, but how many of them live a livelihood where someone's gonna explain to them why their business plan is flawed?
HazeRiot
India came up with a nice solution. Their Rangers have the authority to kill poachers on sight. Poaching was drastically reduced
woolyworm53
Some poachers, yes. But it's often not that simple, and many poachers are people displaced from their Homeland cuz of the reserves
DavidAndrews
This is the kind of criticism a first world resident gives a third world resident.
edophx
Stop poaching.... start farming?
thecolonels
Poachers arent the issue. Its rich easy asian men who cant get a boner. That is the real evil.
veritas1980
you're right, they should capture as many breeding pairs as they can
KnewestKnight
Most poachers don't do it for a living, they are paid for the job. Tons of poachers are people who used to protect the animals.
thecolonels
Capitalism has failed to moderate sustainable resource use
Tunisia
That sounds like long-term thinking. Not even the US government is capable of that any more, apparently.
lawideas
Game theory requires them to poach as fast as they can to maintain a short-term profit.
IdLikeToRideAPigIntoBattle
Hunger doesn't care about tomorrow
queenofrestingbitchface
I always wondered why they didn't just start farming rhinos, seeing as they can regrow their horns
ITellPeopleWhatToPaint
Probably because it would be pretty damn impossible to domesticate a rhino
theitinerantnaturalist
John Hume is actually considering this idea.
BallsGoBounceBounceBounce
A lot of the poachers are just extremely desperate men trying to survive. It's the buyers in Asia that need to be stopped.
GlasselRat
Key is to educate the Asian markets. Celebrities help http://wildaid.org/news/yao-ming-urges-china-‘say-no-ivory-and-rhino-horn’-new-film
helpusdrzaius
locals that can't find other work. it's easy for us to say don't do it from halfway around the world, but we aren't giving them alternatives
thecolonels
Blaning poachers is like blaming guns for crime.
Corrodias
Eh. Not quite. They're still choosing to do something shitty. I just understand why they'd choose that.
TrueLegateDamar
But the more rare a species gets, the more money they get for killing them.
Sogeking
Worth more than cocaine
theitinerantnaturalist
They know this and are actually killing off species on purpose
tilshiloh
And that's why they are winning. No one understands economics. What was the price of the last Dodo?
HitlersArtCritic
I'd say it sold for a lot, but could've been a lot higher if they knew it was the last one in existence. Maybe would've started breeding em'

You can't breed them if they are the very last one....

From a business standpoint they don't give a fuck, because they - like shareholders - don't giv a fuck about long-term earnings.
PartiallyShavedSasquatch
Most of them are poor farmers. They don't see past they're next meal. It's the international cartels behind them we should target
TrueLegateDamar
Nah, poachers have the expertise and gear to circumvent the park rangers and get out, they're not poor farmers, they're animal hitmen.
PartiallyShavedSasquatch
It's sheer numbers. Tell a thousand starving men with guns one rihno will make them rich, you've got an army. Versus handfuls of rangers
inkompetent
Or okay, stock-traders. I shouldn't treat actual honest share-holders as shittily as them.
justme123
Ok, that's better.
justme123
I will say though, as someone who day trades, I do care about long term earnings. I don't want to have to keep hopping between stocks.
LilSis061016
Maybe day traders, not shareholder, but yeah you would think "I'm making it so I can't do this anymore" would be obvious bad business.
justme123
Actually... shareholders care about long term earnings. CEOs do not.
inkompetent
CEOs are legally bound to increase revenue for the shareholders. Extra much so if the shareholders own the majority of the company.
AMartianPotato
They're legally bound to serve the best interests of their shareholders. That doesn't necessarily mean maximizing profits all the time.
justme123
They are not legally bound. That's just their job and why they were hired. Many don't have shareholder interests at heart. Ex: Enron.
AMartianPotato
They're not legally bound to increase revenue. They ARE legally bound to "serve the best interests of the shareholder". Goes back to 1/
LilSis061016
Not really...they are there to set strategy and lead the company towards goals. Revenue is not a guarantee, legally or in actuality.
chloramphenicolderivative
No, but if revenue or at least growth in marketshare is the goal, then he's not going to work there for long.
HolyShitZoom
Can we agree its okay to shoot poachers on sight? Please, pretty please?

I saw some endangered white rhinos one time and they were guarded by five or six guys with AKs pretty cool.

Pretty sure its encouraged.

The problem is they shoot back.

In Africa, people disappear all the time. Life is cheap, especially when that life is the life of a poacher.

In some places it is. There is bounty hunters that shoot to kill.
