Only "some" humans are like that. There is a large part of the US where the culture is that individuals are entitled and the common good is a sucker's game. In much of the world (including parts of the US), the human culture is not like that at all, and social values are of much higher perceived value than individual power.
I'm trying really hard to think of which countries or regions are not selfish resource-wise, and it's not coming to me. kj.

What would be really nice, would be for the winner to spare the rhino's life, and "shoot" it only w/ a camera.

It's sick to want to kill an endangered species on purpose.

These people also kill Giraffes. Why would anybody want to ever kill a Giraffe unless it's the only food possible.

DALLAS (AP) — A permit to hunt an endangered African black rhino sold for $350,000 at a Dallas auction held to raise money for conservation efforts but criticized by wildlife advocates.

Steve Wagner, a spokesman for the Dallas Safari Club, which sponsored the closed-door event Saturday night, confirmed the sale of the permit for a hunt in the African nation of Namibia. He declined to name the buyer.
