Vietnamese Rhino Horn Craze

The demand for rhino horn as a panacea long sought after in China,
has reached craze level in Vietnam.
The Vietnamese interest needs to be
widely publicized as it brought it's own Java Rhino to extinction in 2010. The last known Java Rhino was found shot with it's horn hacked off in 2010.
The horns are ground up and sold as powder on the street like cocaine.
The powder from rhino horn sells at the price of 55,000 dollars per kilo or 25,000 per lbs. making it more expensive than cocaine. This ignorant
practice has no proven medicinal value,
and has become a real threat to the worlds dwindling Rhino population .
