"Conservationists Pushed Ban on Non-Fatal Rhino Horn Harvesting. Poaching Skyrocketed. – "



"Legal rhino farming or selling fake horn, would save endangered animals. But the environmental groups just can't see that.
Now researchers from the University of Oxford have produced a new form of fake rhino horn that they say would reduce demand for poached horn.
"Environmental" groups oppose that, too.
Fortunately, South Africa wised up. After my video was first broadcast, officials decided to ignore the complaints from the environmental groups. They re-legalized sales of farmed rhino horn.
After that, the killing of rhinos fell dramatically."
