The reading passage presents three suggestions regarding how to protect rhinoceroses from poaching for their horns. However, the professor in the lecture refutes these ideas individually.

Firstly, the reading passage contends that dehorning wild rhinos may be useful to keep them from being harmed. But the professor holds that this solution is not viable.
