30K a horn tho...

An illegal $30K. Let's wait until we're off of Terra before screwing our reputation over.

Not if no one knows...........

You are not considering how quickly secrets get out in the modern world.

Well considering I just posted it on the Internet for everyone to see, your probably right

Also, our customers... No honor among thieves, ya know.

You sit on your bed in your cell, naked. It's probably the only way solitary confinement could be better than being stuck in a cell with a cellmate.
You let your paranoia sustain you for...you don't know how long. Probably most of a week. Finally, you are taken out. Presumably they think your spirit has been broken. They're wrong. They toss you into a big, communal pit after forcing some clothes on. They look at you oddly. It seems that they've never seen a kitsune before. They introduce you to the daily schedule: Get breakfast tossed down, divide up the bread of those who try to take more than their fair share, get work group assignments, work, lunch, work, go back into the pit, dinner, bed. Anyone moving after sunset gets some "bad karma." People keep talking about karma as if it was a real force, and not just an unverified philosophical concept. It doesn't matter much; breakfast is over, so it's time for work group assignments. You get put in a group all your own, and get various tortures, mental mostly, applied to get you to tell an elf who speaks to you in the human tounge everything you know about your homeland, even things you wouldn't want to tell them. Elves are supposed to be nice, but that torture with the sapling was merely the worst of a variety of cleverly cruel tortures you endured.

After a while, you are tossed into the pit, missing dinner. What do you do now?

You're confident that you can make another wish without screwing up, ans die horribly.

I wish I knew an uncorruptable wish.

It succeeds. brainfreez is elected president of the solar system. That's enough.

I wish that my little brother was dead.

Probably, but is there at least as free form as a design thingy?
And if not, is there some program that would let me pre-design things for DDF and see them in 3D?

I don't kill people with 6's.

About breeding endangered animals: What if we released 10% of the kids into the wild once old enough? There would be a net increase in the animals' populations.

We would need a method so that they would not become attached to humans and look for an easy meal in the farms around the country.  Maybe we could set up an extremely large area with a sustaining environment that is fenced off to adjust them, and then release them into the outside area.  Pros?  Cons?

We'd obviously do something like that.

Wait, if we're farming them, would it even be necessary to kill the rhinos for their horns? I have no idea if the things grow back, but I doubt that they're necessary for the rhino to live. Meaning that we could cut off the horns, and then use the rhinos as mounts/beasts of burden.

Or breed them.

I think rhinos are nearly blind, so that would be a bad thing.  Due to the trade being illegal by the UN (I think), we would not get the good PR we need and possibly get attacked, or garner no support, therefore it is probably not optimum to do this.

If they're almost blind, wouldn't it be safer to impair their impalement abilities?
And we could adopt the concept to other species.
