[wildtrade] re. How we can save rhinos from extinction.

[Keith Martin]

All  rhinoceros species are on the verge of extinction.  Demand for rhino horn, particularly from Vietnam, is driving the slaughter of these animals.
If demand for this product, which is made of the same material as toenails and has NO medicinal value, is not eliminated now,  these animals will become extinct in the next decade.

Together, we can stop this carnage.  If people stop buying rhino horn the killing will stop. Its that simple. 

The good people of Vietnam can do this but we need to change people's attitudes towards buying rhino horn in any form.  This can be done by showing  the true, bloody  cost  paid by these animals.

Spreading messages  through social networks from the field that show the real bloody cost of buying rhino is one way to do this.

Please join us in this effort.

Please distribute this GRAPHIC VIDEO  ow.ly/mMJ2j  through your social networks multiple times.

 It shows the price a rhino pays for people's desire to buy its horn.

Thank you for your assistance.

Merci.
