Results are present...

Re: Rhino Poaching: Arrests, Prosecutions & Sentencing
Where will these bulls come from? I was told that there is an offer on the table (with strings attached, obviouly) from a major conservation agency. I googled for info substantiating this and came up with naught. So, I might be repeating stuff out of turn. Certainly, it sounded like an honest and we...
