Rhino Permit to be Auctioned at Dallas Safari Club Convention

No matter how much they try to justify this, it's still sick sick sick.

DALLAS, TX - -(Ammoland.com)- —Through an historic collaboration between governments, one hunter will have a chance to hunt a black rhino, help manage and conserve the species, and import a rare trophy to the US in 2014.

The Dallas Safari Club (DSC) has been selected by the Government of the Republic of Namibia to auction a special hunting permit with all proceeds earmarked for rhino conservation in that country.

The US Fish and Wildlife Service has promised full cooperation with a qualified buyer.

DSC will sell the permit during its annual convention and expo Jan. 9-12 in Dallas.

An unprecedented sale price is expected.

meat perhaps to locals, but those outcomes are separate from the fact that the pleasure and purpose of the individual hunter is to kill a rare animal and hang a chunk of it on the wall. That motivation is worthy of disapprobation in my opinion, regardless of what positives may accrue from the exercise...
