I watched a documentary about poaching in Africa and it's no joke there.

Several museums in Europe have been broken into and horns stolen. It's a big, nasty, violent black market. I'd very nervous about posting pictures of a horn anywhere, especially if it has a location tag on it. I'd suggest taking this post down.

That's a ridiculous request. No law has been broken. The OP just shared a mount of an animal that is no longer allowed to be taken. Would you say the same thing about a polar bear mount?
