Really puzzled by the photo in the image gallery of a hunter killing a Sumatran rhinoceros in the year 2000.

This guy should have been jailed or punished somehow.

Any one knowing anything about the aftermath of this- did he loose his smile?

Oops, sorry!

I added the 2000 date as the image was published in that year. It had been in the archives of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for a long time. The Picture was probably taken around 1900, although this is unknown.

Hope to never encounter a picture of a hunter, killing a Sumatran Rhino, taken in recent years. On the other hand, it would be really easy to get him in jail if it did happen.
