Last rhino

No, not the very last rhino.  The last adult at South Africa's Krugersdorp Game Reserve.  Shot and left to bleed to death after her horn was severed.  A horn made of essentially the same material as your fingernails, but valued as in traditional Chinese medicine.  And it's safe to predict that this is the fate that will, in fact, befall the very last one unless we somehow deal with these idiots.  Must say that I agree with P. Z. Myers' take on the solution.
