I say yes. the trade should be legalized. It can make a huge difference if they can farm with the horns. It will increase the value of the rhino while it is alive. It is worth more dead than alive at the moment. The question is not the stockpile but control and management. It must be a controlled legal supply to the market, cutting out the crime syndicates who presently control the market and the price. Commercializing of the trade will result in large amounts of private capital into rhino.

I really think if we stand together and fight this war as a unit we will win! Let's save as many rhinos as we can, ONE RHINO AT A TIME! Ian Player did it, so let carry on his life's work.

Lets deal with rhino and rhino horn first and then elephants and ivory. Not the same thing at all. The big misconception is that rhino horn has a curative effect. There is no medicinal or aphrodisiac effect at all. If this could be truly understood there could be no further poaching. The misconception about ivory is it is beautiful to wear. Anyone who wears ivory when they understand how cruelly the animals are killed is plainly stated, ugly. And that is just the truth, they are not cool...
