Animals Going Extinct, The Rhino is a Perfect Example for Farming Commodity

Rhino horn is worth more than gold or heroin by weight, so poachers often kill the animals and cut off their horns. It's illegal to sell the horn on the international market, but John Hume, a rhino farmer in South Africa, argues that if it were legal, poachers would breed rhinos rather than kill them.But it's a highly controversial argument.

This is what happens when the government gets involved and tries to make money off of something, they can do the same thing by taxing the profit of a problem that can easily be solved. The Rhino farming can also be done with other species, as we did the Ostrich, Buffalo, Alligator and such. Domesticating animals is the way to go to keep their populations down. Anytime shortages, and the government knows this, and it micromanaged, illegal and heavily regulated it causes an illegal black market, in turn, causes high prices and the worst of people benefits from its profits. Guns, drugs, prohibition all do the same thing.
