Rhino horns are often pulverized and used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat fever and seizures (not a stimulant drug people sometimes say). Meanwhile, the great rhino is easily hunted for the horns supplied to the Chinese and Vietnamese markets . Therefore, the Rhino Rescue Project has begun to explore new-style solutions, including There is an idea to make the horns no longer work as medicine.

According to the Rhino Rescue Project, 'exactly the injected materials are impregnated with rhino horn thanks to the patented high pressure device'. There is no further details on how this device works, but the device will use a dye to dye the rhino horn to change the color to a bright pink that does not change color. This kind of material is like the ink used for securing real money from some banks.

This makes rhino horn no longer able to be used as an ornament and even when crushed into a fine powder, it is easily detected by the airport scanner. Rhino horns made of keratin, like our fingernails, and rhinos do not feel any pain during the entire intervention. In addition, dyes do not cause adverse reactions to rhino health.

In the future, the project even plans to include more toxic drugs, exactly the ectoparasiticides in rhino horn. This poison does not harm both rhinos and animals in the rhino ecosystem, such as the live bird on the bull's back. But for humans, this drug is quite toxic, causing nausea, vomiting, convulsions, and many other things.

Currently the project is in an experimental phase, but it is a promising project.
