You couldn't do that with elephants, and the comparison with the crocodile trade is hackneyed at best.

The rhino market is based on superstition. You can't pander to it and hope that it plays along, because it doesn't have any logical basis. What if it is decided that wild, dead rhino is worth more than 'shaved' rhino?

More has to be done to hamper demand.

I totally agree that demand for rhino horn is absolutely rediculous. But surely someone is missing a trick somewhere.

Once it's all ground up, who could possibly tell the difference between rhino horn and horse hooves, or cow horn? It's all just keratin.
