General Rhino Information
All of the Rhinoceros species are seriously endangered, two of them critically, and unless the world cares, two of them
are soon bound for extinction.
The world spends billions on weaponry but barely the price of one missile to save the Rhinos;
but the weapons industry is doing fine thank you very much.
Does your President or Prime Minister even care about this selfish obscenity?
Perhaps someone could convince the Chinese Government to educate their people, to stop paying for the slaughter of the Rhinos.
It could also be explained to the Chinese people who think that they will get some benefit from eating rhinoceros horn,
that they would get the same benefit from eating their own fingernail or even human hair; rhino horn is nothing more
than keratin (fingernail and hair).
