Comment on Dehorning of S.African rhinos slashed poaching: study
princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 weeks agoIt’s not though, I’ve heard of this program before, and they’ve done similar with elephants. It’s disgusting it needs to be done, but it does provide a net benefit from what I’ve read in the past.

This is what makes it feel cursed (at least to me).

I remember reading about some really good fake ivory making a big hit against the trade. Hopefully something like that could help the rhinos too.
I also wonder if poachers could be insentivised to dehorn instead of killing as another harm reduction.
