They have never stopped selling , well over a decade now. It is part of their budget and bugger the poaching and dwindling numbers. O**

They sell from Kruger.

Since the late 1990s, a large fraction of the white rhinos removed was sold to generate conservation revenue. By the end of 2010, a total of 1402 white rhinos have been removed from the Park. - Sam Ferreira
