So far you have justified the killing of this rhino and what we do to other animals because humans have "reasoned" it to be necessary and because we see them as lower life forms. Said reasoning is incorrect on this matter and you have yet to show why exactly they are to be considered inherently "lower". Now you are using what is known as the appeal to nature to fallacy to justify your actions. Would you care to approach this subject rationally now please?

Saying something is idiotic does not automatically make it so. So far nothing is supporting this other than your subjective opinions.
You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. You and others cling to your stereotypical ideas of ARAs, but very few of them are based in truth. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if you have never sat down and had a rational conversation with an ARA in your life. We care about other animals because they are our biological and evolutionary kin. Because, as modern science indicates, their minds ARE similar to our own and so we are able to empathize with them. It has very little to do with a ****ing Disney movie and the sooner you realize that the better you will be able to have these sorts of discussions.
Protect the animals from the poachers then. Their potential misdeeds do not justify our own violent solutions. The problem with many conservation efforts is that they look at other animal species as some sort of amorphous blob where only the whole rather than the individual parts are important. Modern cognitive science indicates that animals are individuals that each posses their own unique personalities. Some are brave, some are more timid and sensitive, others are prideful. It's simply ridiculous to only think of the species as a whole in light of these facts. When we kill an individual animal we are causing that animal SUFFERING. A species, on the other hand, cannot suffer.
