Hi Greg. I also eat meat and struggle with the ethics of that. I think we are not alone on that front! I would LOVE you to contribute a song to the album. If you have a look at their website www.rhinose.org or facebook page www.facebook.com/rhinoseday there may be some inspiration there.

On the Vietnam reference in the song. I did a bit of research on this and Vietnam has become the biggest market for legal and illegal rhino horn coming from South Africa. The interesting thing is that this demand only really started taking off in 2008 when it was being marketed as "The drink of millionaires" and a cure everything from hangovers to cancer. I think the real danger is if this "myth" takes over in China then that really is the end for the rhino. So Rhinose is making a effort in the campaign to reduce demand. This strategy has worked in the past in other Asian countries. Let me know if I can help with a co-write. There are many interesting angles to this one...
