Anyway, I also can't believe people want to legalize the rhino trade, it's insane. |

.____. Legalizing the rhino trade ? Wat ? I mean, it would've literally no effect. People would still kill the rhinos to hava horns. I know this can be done without killing the animal, but rhinos are slow breeders and though the horn regrows, it doesn't does so at lighting speed. |

We have been over this on ZTV so you know culling sometimes is necessary to conservate the ecosystem. |

I agree with you. And also, the killing of Bengal tigers here is really strange. A tiger appeared around 70 Km of the village so KILL it ! I don't understand why people in the Indian Villages think this way . I am really surprised to think so. |

and what's the purpose of saving an endangered species if it cannot breed ? that way it would only steal resources to the animals that actually can breed. |

Blow it's gonads off with a rifle. Just kidding! But, seriously, even if an endangered species is overpopulating in one area, I don't think they should be killed. Edited by MarxRaptor, Nov 9 2013, 12:18 PM.

Back to the canned hunting thing, I can't believe the SA lion farmers are illegally using tigers. |

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2195803/Farming-rhinos-legalising-sale-horns-worth-gold-save-extinction-claims-farmer.html Multimillion stockpile, Crook. Prices would drop immediately, not making it worth any longer for poachers to kill rhinos. Plus, read the last sentence of the article. Saying it won't have any effect is not true, CJ. The precise effect is rather hard to predict though, since we don't know exactly how large the demand is. If only there was a way to bring some logic thinking in the minds of those who believe Rhino horn is beneficial. That would be a perfect solution. |

Does anyone know about St. Vincent and the Gredivines's unnecessary slaughter of humpbacks? |

Never heard of this. I do support the Faroe Islands whale hunt as the whales are eaten & all parts are used. |

They are being killed simply for the sake of "culture", in an inhumane way as well. Better off them using firearms instead of a knife.

The Faroe island slaughter is far from "necessary". Also what I was saying is that in St.vincent humpbacks are killed inhumanly. |

But wouldn't a somewhat significant price drop require a massive killing of rhinos ? Like, tens or even hundreds ? |

technically there's no way to humanely kill a whale, as we can't kill the mvery quickly. that's why i think we should leave them alone. |
