Hunting club raises money to save black rhino... by hunting a black rhino

"Black rhinos are very territorial so you will have an older male that is keeping younger males from reproducing," he explained.

Err..... who is going to walk up to a black rhino....I wonder if there is any significance to it being a "black" rhino in Texas?....and ask for its birth certificate?

I would imagine that it's done similarly to how you determine if a moose has a legal rack before you shoot it, or how you measure a fish before spearing it: Very carefully.

Also - when hunting dangerous game in many places in Africa, you are required to hire a licensed guide who is responsible for identifying animals that are legal to harvest. I have no idea whether this is the case in Namibia.

I'm a bit surprised that they allow harvest of black rhino at all - but given the rationale, it does make sense.
