These hunts are for White rhino, which are docile animals by and large.For 36 grand the hunter also gets the horn, which can be worth a great deal. It also renders the animal valueless to poaching, since he doesn't have a horn. It doesn't appeal to me, sort of like shooting a big cow. The Black rhino is another matter. He is curmudgeonly and unpredictable. I have only encountered one in the bush and fled forthritely and without embarrasment. Regrettably, the black rhino is well on the road to extinction.
