3. Are humans being farmed?

The right to shoot an endangered black rhino: $250,000. South Africa has begun letting some ranchers sell hunters the right to kill a limited number of rhinos, to give the ranchers an incentive to raise and protect the endangered species.


Now that's an interesting pattern. I say pattern, as I wonder about humans. Later in the article the assertion is made that we don't allow human children to be bought and sold outright. However we do reportedly have war that kills a limited number of humans, and we do have factions that believe in no birth control.

Seems kind of like ranchers selling rhino hunting rights as an incentive to raise rhinos.
