That's what is happening no with poaching in any case. Rhinoceros horns actually grow back though, if the animal isn't killed of course. Apparently wild ones have to be de-horned every year or every other year so it must take a few years for them to grow a reasonable horn. Also rhinoceros meat is edible, so that's always something that can be done if it's more profitable than waiting for a new horn to grow.
