Wildlife vets in South Africa remove the horn of a white rhino mom and her offspring in an effort protect her from poachers who would kill her for her horn, which is worth many thousands of dollars on the black market. Wildlife poachers are part of a vast trafficking network that also trades in drugs, guns, and humans, is highly organized, and resistant to efforts to stamp it out.
Rhino horns, like the outer edges of our fingernails, have no feeling so the process is painless. Made of the same material as those bits of fingernails removed in a manicure, rhino horns have no medicinal value, despite rumors in East Asia to the contrary.
Wildlife managers acknowledge the process is costly and temporary: the horn regrows, so dehorning must be repeated every 18-24 months. They aim to discourage poaching until they can reduce the poaching crisis more permanently.
