    I think poachers should be shot on the spot no matter where. They are decimating species of animals. You hear stories every year about park wardens in firefights with poachers and there are casualties on both sides but, it is needed! We have to stand firm against poachers.

    I think its a great idea. It can't always be "human life above everything else".
    It saddens me that the plight of other species are not taken seriously by the general population. Maybe this kind of action will make people take it more seriously.

    I have no problem with this but is the root cause being addressed at all?.

    Educating the Asian people as to why the need for tusks/horns in the first place,that they have been scientifically proven to be no more good for any ailments than a lump of concrete.

    Informing the people what the demand is doing to the Rhino and Elephant populations.

    Hopefully Rhino horn farming might make a small bit of difference.

    Whilst I do see some logic to this, it still infuriates me. Surely by making it legal all they are doing is encouraging the use of Rhino horn?

    I'm afraid I don't have a better idea at the moment though. It just seriously infuriates me that this is even an issue. I don't understand how its being allowed to happen. I know its very difficult to protect them because the poachers are ruthless, but surely if people put their minds too it and with the support of other nations, they could come up with some way of adequately protecting them.
