The Environmental Affairs Department has set up an interim National Wildlife Crime Reaction Unit (NWCRU) aimed at responding to the upsurge of rhino poaching and smuggling of rhino horn.

In the past three weeks alone, 21 people have been arrested for rhino poaching -- indicating that conservation attempts are under threat.

Rhino horns can be safely amputated. Apparently they do grow back

In 1991 the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) initiated a conservation program for Black and White Rhinos in Zimbabwe, translocating rhinos from areas of relative safety and dehorning them. By August 1993, 122 Black and 111 white Rhinos had been dehorned. There is evidence that dehorned rhinos are left unharmed by poachers and, it has been argued that if trade in rhinoceros horn is permitted, revenue raised from the sale of the amputated horn could be used to fund conservation activities. A similar dehorning program was initiated in Namibia in 1989.

If the govt managed this process, ensuring that the horn products are sold for much less than the black-market price, the poaching market would be ripped out from under the poaching scum.

Alternatively, inject the horns with poison which doesn't endanger the animal, but will sort out the horn consumers.

The rhinos at Rietvlei (Gauteng) has been de-horned. yes it’s not the Ideal but if it helps to save the specie they should do it.
