TROPHIES WITH FAKE HORNS
Special agents seized these two rhino heads, which are now in storage at the US National Wildlife Property Repository. While it is still legal to hunt rhinos through a paid licence, the trophy hunters sold the horns into the black market to be used in traditional Chinese medicine or as a status symbol. The horns were replaced with synthetic substitutes. The illegal trade of rhino horn is regarded as a threat to national security due to the links to organised crime, corruption, and fraud, highlighting that income from hunting helps fund violent activities.
