(14,040 posts)which horns have the poison and which don't. Or are these folks just hoping the poachers will assume that all the rhinos have them?

(65,616 posts)I think it is a brilliant move. If it saves just one rhino from senseless slaughter, then that is some kind of win for the animal as a species imo.

K&R, thanks for posting!
Rhinos are killed and their tusks cut off to be ground up & sold as a (supposedly) potent aphrodisiac
Elephants, on the other hand, are killed, and their tusks cut off to be sold as ivory.
I wonder if they could paint the elephant's ivory tusks with some type of dye that can permanently penetrate the entire tusk, (not just the surface), so that poachers couldn't sell the ivory?
