Dunc Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 So sad we have to do anything about this they should be left alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosemary Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I can understand why they are looking into it, but I would hate to see it legalized. It is also awful to see them hornless and tuskless - they use their horns and tusks - but I suppose it is better than being dead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AttilaVikingsDemon Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Don't they hire people to hunt down or shoot poachers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumps Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 This is a really tricky thing to solve when you consider the variety of reasons why the poachers do what they do. I'm not comfortable with the idea of legalizing it but I haven't seen much information regarding why they think it will help. But most certainly something needs to be done now while we still can, as it wont be long before these animals are only to be seen in zoos and history books.

Storm Angel n Auroras Mum Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 as if legalizing it will stop it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
