A court in South Africa rejected a ban on a domestic trade on rhinoceros which means that these animals can still be sold in the country but not abroad anymore. John Hume (South African businessman and rhino breeder) is fighting to overturn the international ban that remains in place and does little to protect endangered species. He says that there is only one way to protect rhinos and it is by selling their horns because in other way poachers will kill them.
In my opinion, the African economy is following a right direction towards better future. It's probably impossible to change the reality in one day so this step should be just a beginning of something bigger. On the other hand, I don't agree with Mr Hume. I think it is authorities duty to punish poachers not to let individuals sell over 6500 rhino horns a year. We simply must stop people who are motivated by money to lead us.
words:
1. sustainable = able to be upheld or defended
What I'm doing here is not sustainable for me, the cost is too huge.
2. fetch = bring
Every year more than a 1000 rhinos are killed for their horns which can fetch more than 90k $ a killer on the open market.
3. treaty = an international agreement concluded between States in written form and governed by international law
The international treaty prevents rhinos salary abroad.
