Permit To Kill Endangered Black Rhino Fetches $350,000 At Texas Auction, Dallas Safari Club Says Hunt 'Helps Rhino'

The opportunity to hunt an endangered African black rhino in Namibia went to the highest bidder over the weekend. Wealthy U.S. and foreign hunters gathered at a Dallas convention center on Saturday, or joined by phone, to participate in the Dallas Safari Club's auctioning off of a permit to kill a black rhino, something the club has maintained was done in the name of "conservation."
