The video discusses the practice of removing rhino horns to deter poachers, as the horns regrow like nails. Despite being made of keratin, rhino horns are highly valued in Asia for their supposed medicinal properties, fetching up to $60,000 per kilo. John, who owns 1,200 rhinos, believes lifting the trade ban on rhino horns could protect them. He argues that the current method of meeting demand with dead rhinos is unsustainable.
