Essay topics:

Although the sale of rhinoceros horns is illegal worldwide, rhinoceroses (Rhinos) are commonly poached (hunted illegally) for their horns, which can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars per kilogram. Rhino horns are so valuable that one type of rhino is already extinct because poachers killed too many of them. All rhinos may soon become extinct unless something is done to help save them. Several ideas have been suggested The first idea is for wildlife experts to “dehorn" Rhinos living in the wild. Dehorning means removing the horns of living rhinos to make them less attractive to poachers Horns can be removed without hurting the animals if medical equipment and drugs to calm the animals are used When this strategy was tried on a small scale in the early 1990s; none of the rhinos dehorned at the time were killed by poachers. The second possibility is to educate consumers. The majority of rhino horn sold is used in medicines Although rhino horn is believed to have health benefits, this belief has no scientific foundation Rhino horn consists almost entirely of keratin, the same material found in human hair and nails. Keratin has no known health value. Educating consumers about keratin could greatly decrease the demand for rhino horn The third possibility is to legalize government sales of rhino horn. Some governments have large amounts of horn, taken from poachers they have arrested. This horn is often kept in storage. However, if government sales were legal, large quantities of horn that governments already have could be sold at very low prices Poachers kill rhinos because consumers pay high prices for their horns If governments started selling cheap rhino horn, rhino poaching would no longer be profitable and would probably stop, at least for a while. That might help endangered rhino populations to recover.

Both the reading and the lecture discuss the universal sale of rhinoceros horns. The writer says that there are several ideas on how to prevent the rhinos from going to extinction. However, the lecturer refutes each of the claims made in the reading.
To begin with, the author claims that dehorning the rhinos in the wild will make them unattractive to poachers. On the other hand, the professor opposes this point by revealing that dehorning of rhinos is highly impractical and very harmful to the rhinos. Moreover, dehorning the rhinos will harm their chances of survival, because the rhinos use their horns to perform several activities such as drinking water and guiding their young ones.
Secondly, the reading notes that consumers need to be educate in order avoid the extinction of the rhinos. According to the reading, this will reduce the demand for rhino horn. Nevertheless, the lecturer rebuts this point by saying that this idea is unlikely to be effective. He explains that medicinal importance is ancient and many people already have strong belief about keratin in the rhino's horn, removing such beliefs will very difficult.
Lastly, the writer avers that legalizing the sale of rhino horn will reduce its price and this will reducing rhino poaching. Nonetheless, the professor contradicts this point by saying that legalizing the sale of the rhinos will only make the business more profitable. According to the law of economics, when the demand of the rhino horn is high, the price of the horn will increasing. leading to poaching activities.
