I hate the hunters and poachers, and I hate the stupid "industry" that perpetuates superstitious belief in rhino horn as a "treatment" for anything.

This is just terrible news. What will happen to Africa's Five in only ten years? And perhaps that's being optimistic. It could be in even less than five. This killing must stop.

If the reason they are killing rhinos is for their horns, I'd be more than willing to donate my hair and nail trimmings. Just when are people going to learn that's all rhino horns are?

If there was ever a time for the practical application of cloning, this is it.

I hope they can confiscate every last bit of rhino product from these bloodsuckers. maybe they can clone from those things?

This is horrible. Poachers who go after endangered species like this give honest hunters a bad name.

They should use poachers' fingernails and toenails instead.

Poachers and trophy hunters are the terrorists of the Animal world. :twisted:

I don't know about most intelligent, but definitely most stupid.

What sad news. :cry:
Poachers and collectors of endangered animals are not only a threat to the animals but the people that try to protect them.

And sometimes people kill the animals just for evil.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/2008/05/07 ... n-islands/

If something horrid happened to the people that committed these atrocities,I wouldn't feel bad at all.In fact I hope they all come to a bad end.Especially the Iguana killer,I hope they fall off a cliff and are eaten alive by wild dogs.
