Ridiculous. Radicals are radicals are radicals, they will unfortunately always be there and no amount of reason or scientific evidence will change them.

Sorry to be a nitpicker, is SCI receiving threats as well? At this point I was not aware of any complaints against SCI. Please clarify.

Article states Safari Club (referring to Dallas Safari Club) not Safari Club International, not written very clearly in the article.

It's a sad day when ANYONE nowadays can make direct death threats and then hide behind the "freedom of speech" right without any recourse.

Death threats, burn US flags, protest military funerals ect ect.. Where and when do we as citizens draw the line? Times are a changing folks...

Whether the radical element is a terrorist group or an anti group,if they post a threat to human lives they should be seen as equally dangerous and be treated in exactly the same manner.

If they would start tracing some IPs and slapping some cuffs and making it very public then these nutjobs would quit, hiding anonomously on the internet is BS.

Here is some more for the Black Rhino. Leading Article on CNN.com today

Winner of rhino hunting auction: My $350,000 will help save species - CNN.com

At least Mr. Knowlton is given the opportunity to provide some good comments. I just find it alarming that someone would threaten his kids. That is a BIG problem that need to be addressed.

 

[gi jane]

I agree!! I hope they do something about the threats. These people deserve some time behind bars or in a psych ward.

Im sure they will do exactly what they have in the past with this... nothing.

I know an individual that was at the auction. Before the threats and protest began, he was willing to go to $1,000,000 if necessary to win the permit. Because of the press and idiots out there, he backed off because he didn't want to go through what Corey is having to deal with. In essence, the anti's screwed the Namibian Rhino Conservation program out of $500,000!

I believe it... I was surprised it only went for $350K. Now, I understand....

 

[gi jane]

Son of a c*&t..!! :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: If those idiots only had a friggin clue. All they did by their stupid protest and death threats was hurt the rhino population even more! Total dumb-ass, ignorant cowards...

Oh I'm sure the anti's are writting a check this minute for black rhino conservation .

 

[gi jane]

Oh I am sure they wrote a check out Saturday right after the auction. Hope it clears.

That is what I love most about the extreme animal rights people...the fact that they care so much for animals, the way they support the conservation of endangered species .

 

[gi jane]

Yep. Total ignorance. Unwilling to see the bigger picture. Yet some of the biggest hypocritical rhetoric I have ever encountered from a so-called "liberal conservation" group. Just like PETA, some of the biggest hypocrites on the planet.

I think Corey did a good job on Piers Morgan show explaining his point of view. What I thought was funny was one of the comments on Facebook claimed that rhinos were not dangerous animals, no more dangerous than a elephant or zebra and suggested we do a better job reading the true facts, what book was he reading I would like to know.

Elephants have never killed anyone. They are docile, lovely pets. Ask these folks.
