Guys,
 
    I agree, but many are also being slaughtered to harvest the rhino horn, since it is considered an aphrodisiac, or a tonic to strengthen male potency, in China and elsewhere in East Asia.

    Irish Gypsies were caught trying to steal the Marcel Lorber collection from the Israel Museum (talk about morons - trying to beat Israeli security, or embarrass Israelis over false accusations of racism!).
And their plan was to grind them up and transport the powdered horn to Europe on its way to East Asia.  Sad.
