This is very unusual. Most of the time the smugglers know which government agents to pay off. But since the black rhino is now listed as extinct, I suppose the bureaucrats felt they had to make a showing of concern. But soon the whole thing will be forgotten and it will be business as usual in the multi-million dollar trade of endangered animal parts, because the fewer that remain alive, the higher the price. Isn't free enterprise wonderful(?!)
