Vince was born in late 2012 at Burger Zoo in The Netherlands and had been at Thoiry, situated 30 miles west of Paris, since March 2015. [link to news.sky.com] And it's not just the Chinese . . . In the Middle Eastern country of Yemen, the horn continues to be coveted by Muslim men, although imports were banned in 1982. The material, whose luster increases with age, is used for the handles of curved daggers called “jambiya,” which are presented to Yemeni boys at age 12. Jambiya are considered a sign of manhood and devotion to the Muslim religion, and are used for personal defense. Yemeni men place great value on the dagger handles, which are commonly studded with jewels. In China, the ornamental use of rhino horn dates back to at least the 7th century AD. Over the centuries, rhino horns have been carved into ceremonial cups, as well as buttons, belt buckles, hair pins, and paperweights. [link to www.pbs.org] |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74361318 I would be great if they caught the people and it turned out to be "refugees". The libtards wouldn't know how to handle it. On one hand they would want to go all Harambe on the world, but on the other end they can't say bad things about mass immigration. Tough choice. |
