Rhinos all over the world are being poached for one thing- their horn. The crowning feature of the rhino is said to be good in Chinese traditional medicine. The horn is actually made up of the same materials as our fingernails, such as Keratin. The rhino is killed, and the horn is cruelly sawed off.
