The IFAW recently released this blistering statement by Jeff Flocken condemning the Dallas Safari Club for auctioning a license to hunt and kill a black rhino. “This auction tells the world that some Americans will pay anything for the opportunity to kill one of the last of a species. It also sends a dangerous message that these iconic and disappearing animals are worth more as dead trophies to be mounted and hung on a wall in a Texas mansion, than living in the wild in Africa. This is not conservation, and it’s a sad joke that Dallas Safari Club is trying to call it that.”
In this thought provoking episode of Max A Pooch’s Awesome Animal Advocates, Jeff Flocken discusses this issue and shares with us some of the important work the IFAW is doing.
