The story about science destroying unicorns is actually very true. What happened was a bunch of scientists (cryptohippologists, of course) stayed up very late in the lab one night working on making artificial unicorn horn. Their plan was to put an end to the underground unicorn horn trade coming out of Libya. But they stayed up so late, and became so hungry, that they went on a unicorn-eating bent and devoured every last unicorn stallion, mare and foal in the entire world.
That is the true face of science (and cryptohippology): it is a face that pretends to want to stop black market trade but actually just wants to eat all the rare animals.
