This Guy Just Killed an Endangered Black Rhino After Paying 350000
A man from Texas has hunted and killed an endangered black rhino in Namibia after bidding 350,000 in an auction to win a hunting permit. Since the auction last year, Corey Knowlton has faced intense criticism and even death threats from animal-rights advocates, but he said the hunt is an essential part of conservation work for saving black-rhino populations in Namibia. The 36-year-old hunter from Dallas told CNN the rhinoceros he hunted was an older bull that was considered a threat to the herd, as it was harming younger males. But opponents, including several animal-welfare groups, disagree with killing any endangered animal.
