As Colleen says - it grows back. I know one country has legalised sale of rhino horn through legitimate markets at a fraction of the price paid on the illegal market. The animals are not harmed in obtaining the horn. Perhaps this is something to be considered by Governments and animal welfare societies.

Funnily enough, rhino horns consist of keratin, so those who believe it to be an aphrrodisiac had better start biting their nails instead.

All this Voodoo in today's world. Perhaps what we need is some ANTI propaganda, like the stuff makes your dick fall off and your boobs turn to toads.
