The Dallas Safari Club, is a hunters club for people who like big game hunting in Africa. But there not just people who enjoy the kill they have been giving money to wild life protection organizations in Africa to make sure those animals are still around. However recently in a charity auction they were hosting gave a way a license to hunt Black African Rhinos (ironically the money raised was used to protect the Black African Rhino.) It was sold for $350,000 dollars but who it was sold to is rather questionable. The man who got the licensee is Mr. Corey Knowlton a big game hunter who has a lot of trophies. Now I'm not a hunter but I know your supposed to kill males seeing that there will always be another male to impregnate a female but the issue is that these Rhinos are endangered and already have problem with expanding their population. Now this man is knowledgable of this practice but it will be interesting to see what he will do with it. For now lets just hope the Dallas Safari Club know what it doing.

I'm not sure if the Dallas Safari Club is helping or hindering the Black African Rhino.
