I didn't read the whole thing but if they wanna farm rhinos to harvest their horns I would be ok with that
rock, I don't know how many females there are, but that male is the luckiest rhino on the planet. zero competition for the ladies.
I think there was a vice episode about this. A man with the largest private rhino breeding herd cuts of and collects all of their horns. This protects them from poachers. He is a pragmatist and keeps proposing and lobbying the local governments to let him sell the horns to stop wild rhinos from being poached and use the funds to help expand his herd.
It's probably the only hope for the rhino. Asian cultures aren't going to stop believing horns have magical properties and poachers aren't going to stop trying to get paid.

It's insane to me that such a high value is placed on horn/tusks.
