The Kenya Game Department gave special licenses to shoot 77 rhinos, allowed a further 48 rhinos in controlled areas, and reports a further 25 were killed `in defenbce of life and property'. One of the wealthyhunting clients writes: `Of course the shooting of rhino is not allowed in all areas, the license is limited to some of them. But if in such an area a white hunter books for one week, in this single section 30-40 rhinos could theoretically be shot. In this way a huge amount of legal rhino hunting is possible. I saw trophies of some rhinos, which showed them to have been really exceptionally young.'
