"For every rhino you kill, we will kill a club member,"

For this hunter, the death threats have become regular on his Facebook page. He has security, but the fact still is he is a hunter afraid of being hunted. The story first began when an auction started, a Rhino Hunt Auction at the Dallas Safari Club. Next, Corey Knowlton, the winner of the auction, bid $350,000 for a hunter's permit to hunt an endangered black rhino. Knowlton says that the money will go to saving the endangered species. He says, "Killing one black rhino will protect the species throughout Namibia, and that this idea is supported by scientists and conservationists all around the world." I think that he shouldn't be threatened for this. He is only going to kill one old black rhino, that is considered dangerous to other younger rhinos and cannot breed anymore. Finally, I believe that though this is not an ideal way to protect endangered species it works. Do you think there was a better way to protect this endangered animal?
