A South African millionaire—the world’s largest private breeder of rhinos—says he’s sawing the horns off of his rhinos to save their lives because he’s reportedly lost rhinos to poachers in the past.

Governments have attempted the strategy of allowing legal sale of endangered animal products—with disastrous results.”
