| Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web. While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself!

I think we need to make rhino poaching difficult. We need to discourage people from doing it. We need to fire a few... warning shots. We ought to use goddamn helicopter gunships, people! And if nobody else does it, I swear, I want to build my own helicopter gunship out of a box of scraps, and I'll go gunship them myself. With a box of scraps. We need more than just an online petition. We need a global, worldwide consciousness. You know that Kony thing? Well, that's nonsense. But this isn't. Don't blanket the streets of the world with his stupid worthless face, blanket it with pictures of butchered up rhinos. Because the global consciousness needs to be turned toward things like this. We need to fight on two fronts. We need to help people realise that this so-called remedy will do nothing for them. And we have to make rhino poaching too difficult for people to bother with. |

I'm with you... I reckon te UN should send in peace-keeping forces to bodyguard the rhino and the mountain gorilla and the bonobo - and other severely critically endangered animals... At one stage in the 1990s, don't remember which African nation, but it was when the political state in many African nations was a bit more stable than it is today, one government (could have been South Africa?) gave park wardens military training, assault rifles, and the power to use deadly force to deter poachers. It may sound harsh, but there's plenty of people out there, but hardly any rhinos. With the burgeoning middle class in China, I think things are only going to get worse, with their stupid belief that eating powdered keratin from a rhino has therapeutic benefits. |

Solution. Invent Metal Gear. Poachers shit pants in fear before being ripped apart by Gatling guns. Then, send REX over to china and use the shoulder-mounted rail gun to nuke ALL the cities. IT CAN'T FAIL! Edited by Kamidio, Mar 30 2012, 08:22 PM.

Yes but you do fail, with a big "F" my son. Untidy work, see me after class. |

As far as I know people still go out with G3's and Helicopters to stop poachers, it's just there are never enough of them. And much as I like Rhinos, there are a lot of better places for the UN to send troops first. Edited by lamna, Mar 31 2012, 06:10 AM.
