And if an approved sanctuary put their hand up and said they would arrange for relocation of this older aggressive bull wouldnt that satisfy all those who say it must be culled to stop it killing younger males? Removing it and allowing it to live out its natural life in a sanctuary achieves the same end, surely? ................................................................................................................. Open Letter to Corey Knowlton. Dear Corey, We, the Live Trophy group, represent several concerned conservationists and wildlife organisations, and wish to open a dialogue with you with a view to: A. Purchasing the trophy hunt permit for the Black Rhino you have recently acquired, B. Discuss alternatives to the killing of this magnificent animal. We wish to present you with an exciting opportunity to participate in a new and progressive approach to conserving endangered species. Corey, you, more than most, will realise the value of developing new conservation methods that are consistent with the values of conservationists protecting our endangered species and with the ideals of the trophy hunting industry. You are now in the position where on-selling that hunting permit, or donating it, will ensure the survival of a Black rhino and help forge a new partnership between us. Real power is deciding to preserve a life... You have a lot to gain by such a humane action. Lets fight alongside with this innovative win-win approach, and gain valuable public approval from both sides of the trophy-hunting debate. By prolonging the life of this Rhino, you can do so much more for the survival of the species, than merely gaining another lifeless trophy. You will realise the marketing possibilities of such a public-spirited action. Instead of only providing the thrill of a once-off hunt, the Rhino can serve as a living, breathing trophy that you and countless others can interact with for the rest of his natural life. Therefore: We wish to facilitate the purchase from you, or ask you to donate, the hunting permit for one black rhino that you successfully acquired at the recent auction. We are prepared to negotiate a price and timeline to completing a purchase, as well as any other aspects related to this issue. Our goal: To ensure this old rhino lives out its life in a similar habitat, as nature has intended. We will arrange for its relocation to, and care, at an approved animal sanctuary in Namibia. Our members have in the past participated in similar operations, with massive success! savetheelephants.org/news-reader/items/conservation-co-operation-spares-ugab-elephants-life-40namibia41.html We are eagerly awaiting your willing response to engage in a discussion.
