Yes, killing an old, sterile rhino who is of no value to the species, while paying over 1/4 of a million dollars to help both conservation and Africa, is a horrible thing.
A hunter who paid $350,000 (£214,119) at an auction for a licence to hunt an endangered black rhino in Nambia has responded on Facebook to fierce criticism from animal rights campaigners and wildlife groups.
Corey Knowlton was named by fellow hunter Tom Opre as the man who placed the winning bid at the Dallas Safari Club sponsored auction and describes himself as a ‘ hunter/conservationist’ on his Facebook page.
The club said it was auctioning the chance to hunt the animal to raise money for conservation efforts to protect the species. According to his profile, Knowlton works as a hunting consultant for the Hunting Consortium website led by president Robert Kern, which provides up to date information on hunting and angling ‘adventures’ across the world.

LOL
Tom, I don't even need to be able to see your comments to know a fool has spoken. What a maroon.
It is the responsibility of every American citizen to own a modern military rifle.

A giant stuffed black rhino is worth half a mill. Why let it rot when like bill said, it can be preserved? Especially if there is a chance of extinction, a preserved specimen has immense non-monetary value as well.
Furthermore, Bill is entirely correct that removing the giant aged bull from the herd benefits the herd greatly. Tom is again showing his lily white milque toast side.

Sure, you do. What about future generations. after they are extinct? Shouldn't they have a chance to see a real one?
The point though is that sexually overmature bulls should be removed from the herd, since they can prevent breeding by smaller but fertile animals
2. They compete with the virile members of the herd for food and eat a disproportionate amount.
3. As Billy pointed out, when diseased are a danger to smaller members of the herd.

you can mount ones that die naturally.
there is NO reason to kill one to know what they look like
I'm sure people in India don't care for how we treat cows.
