Wait, if we're farming them, would it even be necessary to kill the rhinos for their horns? I have no idea if the things grow back, but I doubt that they're necessary for the rhino to live. Meaning that we could cut off the horns, and then use the rhinos as mounts/beasts of burden.

I think rhinos are nearly blind, so that would be a bad thing.  Due to the trade being illegal by the UN (I think), we would not get the good PR we need and possibly get attacked, or garner no support, therefore it is probably not optimum to do this.

About breeding endangered animals: What if we released 10% of the kids into the wild once old enough? There would be a net increase in the animals' populations.

We would need a method so that they would not become attached to humans and look for an easy meal in the farms around the country.  Maybe we could set up an extremely large area with a sustaining environment that is fenced off to adjust them, and then release them into the outside area.  Pros?  Cons?

We'd obviously do something like that.

Or breed them.

If they're almost blind, wouldn't it be safer to impair their impalement abilities?
And we could adopt the concept to other species.

I thought that "farming" already implied that we would be breeding them.

We could use the hornless rhinos as breeding stock.

Iam 95% sure rhino horns grow back and that they are worth 30k a horn.
Why dont pochers farm them?

[GreatWyrmGold]

ADHD or an unwillingness to raise mean-tempered animals the size of large cars that someone else will probably shoot before the second crop?

[Sprin]

30K a horn tho...

[OREOSOME]

The horns DO grow back, as they are made of hair, in the same way as toe/fingernails. It just takes a long time for the horn to regrow, and some might die in the procedure.

ok so how many horns do we need to sell to get our bay12 crew to the launch site, build a launch site, and rocket, and the miterials to build a colony?
assuming the horns are 30k.

We just need to have some really rich person think that its cool and buy us out for a ball-load of money.

A number large enough that we'll flood the market and drop prices.

Good plan.

So, given we're planning on selling the company, how are we going to legally obtain horns?

Good. Lets start rearing rhinos then.

An illegal $30K. Let's wait until we're off of Terra before screwing our reputation over.
