36. What this guy is going to do is not "hunting".

Jan 2014

He will fly to Namibia and get whisked to a luxury hotel in an air conditioned Land Rover. The next morning after a gourmet breakfast, he will be taken into the bush in his air conditioned Land Rover to a spot close to a rhino herd. He will be led to a spot by guides for a clear shot. He will look through the high tech scope on his high powered rifle, pull the trigger and kill the beast. He will then be led over to the dead animal to pose for a keepsake and then back to the luxury hotel for drinks and dinner.

At the very least, the guy should be given only a knife, a canteen and a map. Let him face down a black rhino with a stick he sharpened with the knife.
