Sounds to me like they should be farming these things. 100 animals is 3.5 million. Not a bad way to make money.

- SmellyGeekBoy 8y agoCool! They should farm pandas and rhinos as well. Extinction would be solved overnight!
- pawelmurias 8y agoRhinos are being farmed already. You can regularly trim the horns of you rhino herd in edition to selling the rhinos themselves.
