If it's fully legal to sell and buy and comes from farmed rhinos who are not harmed during production, why would you call the buyers "motherfuckers"?

It is fully legal to do many things that are ethically awful.

Sure, buying meat from cows and pigs which are kept in horrendous conditions is "ethically awful" but I don't call meat eaters(that includes myself) motherfuckers. As far as I can see the only problem with rhino horn is that people kill wild animals to get it - once rhino is farmed, there's no difference between that and farming cows in my mind. In fact it's much better since rhino farmers don't kill rhinos to get the horn.
