It's really sad. I get really saddened at how many species of animal have become extinct in my lifetime, mostly because of the actions of humans.

there are 2-3 females still alive, and they have dna samplings from Sudan to probably make something happen

There are 2 females, one is his daughter and the other his grand daughter. The only way of completing IVF would be to implant a southern white rhino and the chances of success are minimal, I'm not sure if I'm ethically in favor of this.

What is wrong with people?

.

In 2017 armed men stormed a rhino orphanage in South Africa, holding staff hostage and killing two baby rhinos(they don't even have horns yet) and another found dead in a zoo in France with its horn cut off.

.

Asia need to cut that shit out, ivory is not going to help them. I read that people are dying elephant tusks, which makes the use of the ivory useless.

Even the last two remaining northern white rhinos are under 24hr armed guard. Only 30,000 rhinos left in the world now and still people are happy to kill them. I'm not a big fan of cloning, I'd rather money was used to educate those who buy rhino horn/ ivory / tiger penis.

To balance it a little, there are many beautiful humasns who spend their days protecting these animals and who sometimes pay the ultimate cost for it. But human greed is a monster on many many levels, I believe it will ultimately destroy us as a species.

We're supposed to be the caretakers of life on this planet; instead, we are the lifetakers... confused

It’s a sad world we live in
Humans can b heartless - I don’t understand why it would be so exciting to kill such beautiful creatures - hunting is not a sport - it’s cruel self indulgent and evil

disbelief !
