Rhino Hunter Sues Airline So He Can Bring His Animal Trophy Home
Source: Take Part
By Taylor Hill
Last year, when Texas big game hunter Corey Knowlton purchased a $350,000 permit to hunt and kill a critically endangered black rhino in Namibia, he did so with the intention of bringing the dead animal back to the U.S. with him.
But that was before a Minnesota dentist shot Cecil, Zimbabwe’s most famous lion, and commercial carriers, under mounting public pressure, banned the transport of lion, elephant, tiger, and rhino trophies on their flights. United, American, and Delta Airlines all joined South African Airways and Emirates, which put such policies in place earlier in 2015, in enacting the ban.
So when Knowlton tried to bring his prized carcass back after a much-scrutinized May 2015 hunt, Delta allegedly denied his request to transport the animal from southern Africa. To Knowlton and a consortium of pro-hunting groups, that’s discrimination against hunters.
In a lawsuit filed Oct. 15, Dallas Safari Club, Houston Safari Club, Conservation Force, Knowlton, and others argue that Delta’s ban on big game trophy transport is unlawful, “robbing the species of the enhancement tourist hunting provides,” the suit claims.

= new reply since forum marked as read
if only that bastard had a shred of decency in his soul. 
I hope, when he meets his demise, it's as grisly as he's seen fit to dish out.
Maybe he can afford to a to charter a private flight? 
When I lived in Dallas, I joined some fellow animal rights activists to protest the annual Dallas Safari Club convention....got into it with several of these dickheads. Had signs with "this is how real men shoot wildlife" with a picture of a guy crouched down in the grass with a camera and huge telephoto lens and a ground squirrel of some kind that decided to perch on his head 
I sent them a link after posting this. They thank the DU community for the response we had to this LBN post.

Apparently he goes to kill everything moving, hoping to turn Africa into a silent continent. Here's the filthy piece of #### and the little woman enjoying the afterglow of the slaughter of another beautiful irreplaceable creature:
