Since rhinos are endangered, I hope the otherwise very forward-thinking Kruger Park will conduct a thorough background check before releasing these animals to "investors."

White rhinos are particularly prized for their horns, which some people believe are aphrodisiacs. A few years ago, Zambia had 6 white rhinos in Mosi-O-Tunya Park. To prvent poachers from killing the animals for their horns, park officails sawed the horns down to nubs. Angered, the poachers shot the rhinos anyway. Now, the Park has only 2 rhinos left. I wish Kruger would donate some to Zambia.

In any event, I think UPS *is* the best solution for shipping these animals. After all, if they can ship whale sharks from Taiwan to Georgia, they can certainly handle a rhino.
