Humane Society asks BYU to not display white rhino
10 comments | Read story
A large protion of the money that hunters spend in persuit of their trophy goes back to help the wildlife. In our own county, the elk, waterfowl, wild turkey and many other species have benefited from the money spent by the sportsman. Without these funds many projects would not have occurred. I am sure that most the dollars Mr. Morris spent on his white rhino hunt were put back into rhino conservation efforts in Africa. Mr. Morris should be congratulated for his generosity in letting the public view something they would never be able to see anywhere else in their lifetime.
In the name of Liberty, Freedom and Democracy why not diplay some hides from Iraq while we're at it. I don't think many are that satisfied or interested in seeing merely a few ears on a string.
in the news would it?
In this case the money spent on the tag by Mr. Morris/the BYU conservation effort, went to relocate 3 relocatable young rhinos. The white rhino that was harvested in an area suffering from overpopulation of rhinos, could not have been moved due to it's size. (It would have suffocated during the lift.)
Otherwise put, many rhinos were saved by harvesting this very old rhino.
If you study Mr. Morris's efforts, he's saved many species. .. many more than PETA and the Humane Society for sure, and I intend to address his heroics in a documentary.
