When Namibia Ministry of Environment and Tourism auctioned off the killing of an endangered Black Rhino for the sum of $350,000 they claim it was in the name of "Conservation."

Any person knows that it was simply a money grab and their excuse that the Rhino was "Old and Grumpy" won't wash because many other countries have stated that "If Namibia offered, we would have gladly accepted this Rhino to roam our lands"

Namibia tourism is a $7.2-billion industry, employing more than 18 percent of the country's people.

This Petition is two fold.

#1 - Those signing pledges never to visit Namibia or buy any product made in Namibia

#2 - We will do all we can to communicate and educate tourist on this incredibly shortsighted auction to kill one of only 5,000 black Rhinos left in the wild. We will also encourage tourists to only visit African countries that protect and respect our planet's wildlife.

Until Namibia changes it's policies and officially states that they made a mistake with this "Kill a Black Rhino Auction" and going forward Namibia will never again exchange money for an animal's life, we will never again spend our tourism money in Namibia .
