HOUSTON (AP) - A Houston businessman is suing a South African company for failing to deliver two horns from the white rhinoceros he shot during a safari trip.
In his lawsuit, Kevin Poynter says he has been waiting more than a year since his safari trip in August and September of 2015 for the horns to be sent to him. The suit was filed in Houston.
Poynter’s lawyer, Joel Mohrman, tells the Houston Chronicle (https://bit.ly/2kMiJPt ) the hunt was “completely legal” and the company, Limcroma Safaris, failed to fulfill its contractual duties to send the horns.
Many airlines won’t transport such hunting trophies, including from the so-called big five African animals: lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards and Cape buffalo.
A spokesman for Limcroma Safaris didn’t immediately return a phone call Thursday seeking comment.
