bidder paid $350,000 for a permit to kill an endangered black rhino. the controversial auction has been criticized by wildlife advocates and even children. if people are really interested in conservation and keeping them alive, why don t they use money or wealth in more productive ways than killing a rhino. it just doesn t make sense. they shouldn t be doing rhino poaching period. doing it here is better how? i don t know why they are doing it. maybe they are doing it for a few pictures with the rhino laying down dead. despite the protest the dallas safari club went ahead anyway. they said the money will be donated to help save the threatened species. ben carter, executive director of the dallas safari club joining me now over the phone.
