Damnit China.

Makes me sad.

"Primitive Cultures" for $1,000, Alex

Those rhinos will never be happy again..

Is it me or doe these Asian countries need to cut out the aphrodaisiacs? Got too many people already.

So Glenn Beck is going to be talking up Rhino horn futures?

Should that be "soars" not "soar?"

Just asking...

"I have the weirdest boner right now"

Why cant china figure out how to make counterfeit rhino horns? I mean, they've figured out how to rip off everything else.

I knew my rhino farm would make money some day. Nobody seems to want my delicious rhino steaks.

BokChoy: Why cant china figure out how to make counterfeit rhino horns? I mean, they've figured out how to rip off everything else.

Not enough lead.

Rhino horn as an aphrodisiac just because it looks like a boner? Jeez, people, eat a cucumber or something for Christ's sake. Get a conscience.

/wtf are we apes to believe in this bullshiat?
//leave the cave!

You know, I understand why aphrodisiacs are popular, and why people paid so much for them in the years before Viagra.

But you'd think that the existence of real, WORKING aphrodisiacs, made by reputable drug companies, would put a ceiling on how much people would be willing to spend on them.

Do you think that purveyors of powdered rhino horn mix some Viagra in there, to ensure that their customers think that it works?

I wonder what the market for counterfeit rhino horn is like? How can you tell? It's just keratin, right?

Another tragedy we can blame on chinamen.

I'm the lone rhinoceros,
There aren't a hell of a lot of us,
Left in this world.

/nothing is obscure, etc.

Don't just blame China. Lots of Arab males need dagger handles, too.

Jerks.

Dear China,

There are over a billion of you crazy bastards. You don't need to wipe out any more species to increase your fertility. You've done a great job populating the earth. Maybe just kick back and relax for the next few centuries.

Cordially
The entire rest of the world.

But poaching increased dramatically from about 2007 as a growing affluent class in places such as Vietnam and Thailand began spending more on rhino horn for traditional medicine.
All Asians are not Chinese

We should tell the chinese that Terrorist bones cure baldness and get you rock hard, but they need to be fresh.

Hello Discovery? We got a spin-off.

They are all chinamen.

Poaching a Rhino is the ultimate sin. You can never get the true subtlety of the flavor unless you sauté it gently in a light balsamic and olive oil emulsion.

LOL

It's not just impotent asians either... Another large source of demand is Yemeni men who just *have* to have a rhino-horn dagger as a fashion accessory.

Presumably to go with their Prada purse.

What on earth do they use it for?

/ Im guessing that this is for the one of the best smoking pipes EVAR

Last year, we went to San Diego's Wild Animal Park, and got to see Nola.

She's one of two Northern White Rhinos in their collection.

Not impressed?

OK. How 'bout this. Globally, there are but eight in captivity, and thought to be extinct in the wild since 2008.

Humans suck.

How many people has Viagra killed, vs. Spanish Fly?

/ got to see a couple mama Indian Rhinos and their babies in the wild in Chitwan a few months back.



CS,B

Awwww--that's awesome!

Personal theory: there are hippo people and there are rhino people. I'm a rhino person.

Dunno. How many drug companies have NOT chosen profits over saving lives?

It looks dead. Did you kill it for the horn?

I probably should have clarified: she was taking a nap.

If there's one thing more frightening than herds of stupid people, it's herds of stupid people with money.

Meh, plenty of species went extinct before humans -- many at the hands (or, rather, claws & fangs) of other species. That X drives Y to extinction is nothing new, and has no intrinsic "good" or "bad" aspect to it.

Are you saying that Pfizer has *no* reputation?

MrGuilt: tburt: It looks dead. Did you kill it for the horn?

She was resting? Was she pining for the fjords?

We should tell the Chinese that CEOs' noses can make a dick rock hard. They will buy it.

OK WTF Asian men!?! Why does it some sort of animal part for you to get a boner? You have
some pretty women folk, you have porn and the intertubes too. What is your deal? You can't all be furries..

theorellior: Mr. Shabooboo: What is your deal? You can't all be furries..

Imagine this: with 1.5 billion people, with even 0.1% of people being furries, there are still more furries in China than all the people in New York City.

But do they have more chins than a Chinese phonebook?
