(FILES) A captured wild male black rhino named Sero at Lewa Wildlife looks out from its crate at Lewa conservancy in this August 26, 2013 file photo. A Texas hunting club January 11, 2014 auctioned off a permit to kill a black rhinoceros in Namibia, raising $350,000 towards conservation efforts for the animal, but not without controversy. The Dallas Safari Club, which said all money would be given to Namibia for "anti-poaching patrols, habitat protection, research and other measures crucial for protecting populations of endangered black rhinos," has nonetheless sparked the ire of some wildlife groups. A government-approved annual quota, in place in Namibia since 2012, gives permission for the killing of five black rhinos per year. "Science shows that selective hunting helps rhino populations grow," the club said in a statement released after the US auction. AFP PHOTO/Carl de Souza / FILES
