Good news for rhinos!\
\
\"John Hume is a South African rhino farmer. He owns more rhinos than anyone else in the world---around 1,160. At his farm in Klerksdorp, about 100 miles southeast of Johannesburg, he has a vet who works year-round dehorning them. That's allowed him to build up a four-ton stockpile of horn, which is more valuable than gold.\"\
