i think you would lose your bet.
rhino horns are a keratin-protein build up, last i checked. like fingernails, etc. there are no nerve cells involved. the main discomfort to the animal would be a missing tool that they used to own, not any physical pain.

yeah they're right. its about as cruel as trimming a horse's hooves. it does impact them in their normal behaviors but not by a very significant amount.
the biggest problem with conservation is leaving room for people to use it while protecting the environment and its animals. you cannot tell humans an absolute no or it leads to blatant disregard of the rules set forth. something really important people should draw from this is how it is so hard to protect even a flagstone species like the rhino. the rhino is an animal everyone is familiar with and willing to help. the real challenge is with smaller less noticeable species. conservation can become about half as difficult if the general public is concerned.
