GRABBING THE BULL BY THE HORN: Environment, forestry and tourism minister Pohamba Shifeta (extreme right) participated in a rhino-dehorning in the Etosha National Park recently. Dehorning rhinos is done not only to protect them against poachers, but also to prevent the animals from killing or injuring each other. And, because dehorning is an expensive exercise, allowing trophy hunts of older, problematic animals helps provide the necessary financing for dehorning.
