‘ A controversial auction for a hunting permit in Africa concluded this past weekend in Texas. On Saturday evening the Dallas Safari Club (DSC) awarded the permit—which allows a hunter to kill one black rhinoceros, an endangered species, in Namibia—to the auction’s anonymous winner for a reported $350,000. The club had said it hoped to raise between $250,000 and $1 million… A minister from Namibia was reportedly “jumping up and down in elation at the result because the funds go to conservation efforts in the country.” ‘  (National Geographic)
