South African rhino breeder plans online auction of horn
A rhino breeder in South Africa is planning an online auction of rhino horn, capitalising on a court ruling that opened the way to domestic trade despite an international ban imposed to curb widespread poaching.
The online sale of rhino horn belonging to breeder John Hume will take place from August 21 to 24 and revenue will be used to "further fund the breeding and protection of rhinos", according to an auction website.
