The Humane Society of the United States described the news of the auction as disturbing and vowed to campaign against the issuance of a US permit to return the trophy. The world is seeing a concerted effort to preserve the very few black rhinos and other rhinos who are dodging poachers bullets and habitat destruction, said Wayne Pacelle, president of the HSUS. The last thing they need are wealthy elites from foreign lands coming in to kill them for their heads. He also questioned the ethics of wealthy, competitive trophy hunters who say they want to kill an animal in the name of conservation. Shooting a black rhino in the wild is about as difficult as shooting a parked car, he said. If these are multimillionaires and they want to help rhinos, they can give their money to help rhinos. They dont need to accompany their cash transfer with a high caliber bullet, he said.
