I think there should be stronger deterrents for people who poach not only rhino horns but elephant tusks too. Chop off one hand, and if they continue chop off the other and I am really not joking...I dont care how poor you are killing a large animal like an elephant or a rhino for their tucks and horns to make a fast buck just doesnt cut it with me!
