This photo appeared on MSNBC.com a couple of days ago with a story about a wildlife project in Africa that moves black rhinos from their native location to a more protected one that will help facilitate breeding and offer protection from poachers. The animals are blindfolded and sedated, and the helicopter ride lasts only about ten minutes; it is considered a gentler and less risky method of transport for the animals than previous methods.
I don’t know what, if anything, goes on in the mind of a rhinoceros. But if the sedation were to wear off prematurely, even a little bit, can you just imagine?
