    My grandfather was a lover of ancient artifacts and artworks, he had a huge collection and adored particularly ivory stuff (old ones). One day he told me proudly that he was going to buy two elephant and a rino's horns for his collection, i was little at the time, like 6/7 years old, and at the time there wasn't a lot of sensibility for those things, but being an animal lover myself I started crying and praying him to not do that. He was a very good man, just a little materialistic, and called off the transaction after seeing how much this pained me and after that he never brought any thing that come from an animal, only paintings and other artworks. I still love him a lot

      Not necessarily. The people consuming rhino horns are living in truly desperate poverty, without access to effective medicine, hoping that these "traditional remedies" will cure their cancer or other serious ailments. A much better approach would be education that these methods don't work, easier access to medicine that does work, and measures to decrease poverty in general.
      It's easy to assume anyone paying into this industry is evil, but that's not always the case. Humanitarian relief efforts would go a lot farther than poisoning villagers who have nothing.

      Sadly that's not how illegal marketplaces work. It's like trying to crack down on the drug trade; what ends up happening is that the drugs become more scarce, thus more valuable, thus the cartels that deal in them make even more money.
      The best way to devalue the market is to try to make ivory more available with things like fake ivory, harvesting horns from live animals, and (crucially) sell confiscated ivory instead of destroying it. The criminals have already lost their product at that point, so destroying it doesn't hurt them in any way. In fact, it just makes ivory rarer, and more valuable for them to keep poaching.

      I don't think "reducing demand" is the actual reason.
      But as far as I'm aware trading ivory is illegal to trade in most countries anyway.
      That means if there is a ivory product for sale the buyer and the police immediately know it's illegal.
      Now if you suddenly had a legal market for ivory again, it wouldn't be that clear anymore.
      Poachers would just sell illegal ivory with fake certificates to people who believe they are buying legal ivory for a good cause.
      That would make poaching a more profitable business again and at the same time make it harder for police to track down poachers.
      PS: Actually, I guess that also does lower the demand for LEGAL ivory though.
      Because if people know there is NO legal ivory to begin with, they will not try to buy such (and accidentally buy ivory from poachers)

Teaching this to some others may prevent a lot of injuries and death. Once you teach a few in each group you probably wouldn't need to keep doing so as gorillas will teach this to the young ones on their own. Especially the females as they have babies. They would teach what they were taught on how to avoid the, and likely teaching them when they are older to dismantle them. Same as they do already with many things. I understand not wanting to interfere so much but I'm pretty sure the traps do that already and cause a much bigger interference in their lives.

      @@TheLalacreamAnd? Let me use the most common one, shooting someone in the leg, you know what happens 9 times out of 10 when you shoot someone in the leg? They bleed to death in Five Minutes, and that's if they're lucky. Shoot them in the Arm? Same thing, bleed to death.
      You know why? Guns are made to kill people and there is NOWHERE YOU CAN SHOOT without a serious risk of hitting a major Vein or Artery. There is literally NOWHERE ON THE HUMAN BODY you can shoot that doesn't carry a serious risk of that person fucking dying.
      You fire a gun AT ALL and you are using deadly force. No ifs ands or buts. It doesn't matter what caliber bullet your firing or what kind it is.

    A fun fact, the average monthly salary here in India is the what ads up to around 200 dollars. But to be fair, the standard of living is significantly lower than most places around the world. Too many people take things like clean water, the chance to shower, electricity and education for granted. People in our country do not know not to litter and about things such as global warming and pollution.

    All you gotta do is enact open season on poachers. The “good guys” have to accept that their morals are enabling the extinction of valid species

    I came across the fact somewhere that the heart of a giraffe is the size of a medium dog. Not sure if it's true or not, but it sounds likely since it's got that neck that it needs to pump blood up.
