Just found- Now, will the press hype THIS GOOD STORY??? Someone call GreenPeace and the Sierra Club! Viagra could help Africa's endangered rhino CAPE TOWN, June 4 (Reuters) - The new potency pill Viagra could help save Africa's endangered rhino, long poached for the alleged aphrodisiac qualities of its horn, a South African conservationist said on Thursday. ''Viagra is supposed to aid one's sex life,'' David Newton of the international group Traffic, which monitors trade in wild animals, told Reuters. ''Maybe now this will take over and reduce the myth that the rhino horn is an aphrodisiac.'' Viagra, a little blue pill produced by U.S. firm Pfizer Inc (PFE - news) and prescribed for men with erectile dysfunction, has become one of the best-selling medicines in history since winning approval from U.S. regulators two months ago. Newton said that, although rhinoceros hunting was illegal in most of the countries of southern Africa where the beast still roams, poaching was still a problem. But the conservationist said studies had shown that rhino horn, still particularly in demand in Japan and Taiwan, was now more likely to be used for dagger handles or to reduce fevers than to spice up Asian sex lives.
