TWEET-STORM SAT 11th JANUARY 2104 2PM PST (USA) - 10PM GMT - virtual - wherever you are. PLEASE SHARE WIDELY! ****EVENT TIMER***http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20140111T1400&p1=224&msg=TWEETSTORM+FOR+DSC+BLACK+RHINO ALL INFORMATION for tweeting will be provided presently. TWEETS WILL BE AUTOMATED AND HASHTAG PROVIDED JUST BEFORE STORM - REAL EASY - ALL YOU NEED IS A TWITTER ACCOUNT. The Dallas Safari Club will be "auctioning" the rights to KILL an endangered black rhino (resident in Namibia). The auction takes place on the 11th of January in Dallas Texas. The "meme" that's propagated by the DSC - A Trophy Hunting "outfit" is that killing one can save many. This is - bluntly - sheer nonsense. TROPHY HUNTING IS NOT CONSERVATION: learn more here: http://on.fb.me/1euEdGi (The Myth of Trophy Hunting As Conservation) Wildlife experts estimate about 5,000 black rhinos roam the wilds of Africa, 1,795 of them in Namibia, where the auction hunt will be. The Convention on International Trade has approved a sport-hunting quota of five black rhinos annually in Namibia and five in South Africa. Permits are typically issued to a safari outfitter, who sells them to hunting clients. Please check out Black Rhino Rescue Project for more.
