"...Knowlton argues that, in this instance, killing one black rhino will
protect the species throughout Namibia and that this idea is supported
by scientists and conservationists around the world."
"Knowlton says the
Namibian government has identified a handful of black rhinos that can be
hunted. These are animals that are old, no longer capable of breeding
and are considered a dangerous threat to other younger animals.
He said the threat to
the rhino is from its own kind. "One of the other ear-tagged killer
rhinos is going to injure it. And then either lions or hyenas are going
to drag it down. It's going to die [in] a horrible manner, slowly."
So Knowlton argues, why
not let a hunter pay a massive amount of money to take out a threat to
the rest of the species. The Dallas Safari Club says the $350,000 paid
by Knowlton will be donated to the Namibian government's black rhino
conservation efforts."
