And frick the weird motherfrickers that buy things like ivory, rhino horn, whale bones etc.

Completely agree. Throw manta ray in there too. In one area, they almost completely killed them off, for their fricking gills, which do absolutely nothing for people's health (though the fricking Chinese don't agree).

The problem is, those animals are the income for many people in those areas, so you can't just chastise them, you have to show them another way to earn a living that doesn't involve hunting animals to extinction.

So wtf do you do with that thing now? Hack it up and cremate it? Bury it? Serious question

It's worth more in weight than gold, so they are likely going to sell it for $300k.

Quick google search reveals that Vietnamese thinks it cures cancer..

So much irony in this story...

It was racist anyway. The black panther approves.

Except the term "white" is actually a bastardization of the Afrikaans word for "wide." It should be called the wide rhino; which is the description of the animal's mouth and not its color.

Three shots and chainsaw in the presence of cameras and five staff members. I have an idea where to start looking.
