The shipping container came from Cape Town, South Africa and is believed to have been en route to other nearby countries.<br /><br />Other than the horns, 758 ivory chopsticks and 127 ivory bracelets were also in the shipment.<br /><br />Rhinos are hunted for their rumored cure-all horns, despite the fact that horns are scientifically proven to have no medicinal value. Myths say that rhino horns can cure everything from fever to cancer.<br /><br />A seizure of 33 horns is a record high for Hong Kong customs who have only ever caught one or two horns being smuggled on an individual basis.<br /><br />Although no arrests were made, authorities will investigate the case.
