African, Asian Rhinos

​Rhinos once roamed throughout Africa and Asia, today few rhinos survive due to poaching for the Horn

Wildlife Planet Rhino News
​
​Rhinoceros are killed by humans for their horns, which are bought and sold on the black market, and which are used by some cultures for ornamental or Chinese traditional medicinal purposes. East Asia, specifically Vietnam, is the largest market for rhino horns.

By weight, rhino horns cost as much as gold on the black market. People grind up the horns and then consume them believing the dust has therapeutic properties.
