Is there thread where I can scream out the sea of rage and profanity? The black rhino brought to extinct just because of misguided, superstitious medical uses like erect the you-know-what.

There's some mentions of usage for Rhino horns in this Link: http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/episodes/...tion/1178/


For erection? for to de-possession? For Islam's manihood? Money? Give me frigging break!

'tis end of my rant.

I guess there will be limp dicks all over Africa now.

The funny thing is, despite science research show that the powder of Black Horn didn't give any medical benefits like erecting our Jackson to impress the girls. Perhaps the ignorance is one of many factors behind the extinction of black rhinos.

dang.

[Blam!]

This is what black horn looks like:

I doubt I would have been allowed to have one as a pet, so no biggie.

[Blam!]

Some wackos said the figure of these severed black horns symbols - the manhood, just because...

Just because it mounts up just like penile erection! Some traditional Muslims use the Rhino horns as a hilt of swords. Ugh.

Animal captivity may benefit to exotic animal to some degree, but dunno if zoo have black rhinos under captivity. But is that a joke? Hardly laughing matter here.

As we see on this board all the time, scientific research rarely ever causes the lunatics to miss a step.

If scientists be aggressive against misguided beliefs like medical benefits of black rhino powder, then black rhino shouldn't be one of extincted species in first place? Doubtful..

Ignorance and Superstition isn't only factors here- It's also greed.

The Black Rhino per se is not extinct, only the Western subspecies. There is a way to preserve the ones that are left:

Give the locals exclusive rights over the rhinos: they can harvest the horns of dead rhinos and whatever else they want from it. That gives them an incentive to actively oppose poaching and to preserve the species and reduces the market value of the horns to poachers: as with marijuana, an outright ban just makes the horns more valuable, and adds to the incentive to poach.
