Subject: RE: Poachers wipe out Mozambique's rhinos
There is a tremendous amount of superstitious ignorance in the third world. I remember in the 90s reading about African men going to the police to report the theft of their genitals. They would say that a sorcerer stole them. when the cops would take the person in a back room and have a look, they reported that in every case the person's genitals were intact, apparently unmolested and functioning normally.
If a man can convince himself his genitals were magically stolen and you cannot convince him otherwise, you're not going to convince of much of anything.
