Black rhino hunting permit auctioned for $350G

reply to post by ressiv


I read a statistic that said 50 years ago there were 70,000 of these Rhinos and now there are around 5,000 ? seriously anyone that was serious or is a conservationist would see that shooting one of these animals or even arranging a hunt would have been off the table , but I guess the money was too much of an incentive, I read that they were thinking maybe they would get around 1 million dollars, seems like that didn't happen.

This was motivated by greed more than anything else, they say it will be used for conservation efforts but I bet, that there is someone that will line their pockets in exchange for giving someone willing to pay the most to get the sick thrill of shooting a Rhino in somewhat of a controlled setting.
