Yes there should have definetly been some sort of introduction about what was going on in the "hunt" before the show even started and why it was being conducted the way it was.

Should this show been televised? Seeing as how just this simple thread has everyone outraged about the killing of this rhino. People can jump to conclusions real quick if they don't know the reasons and efforts behind something like this. And they probably didn't need to show the hunter jumping around like he accomplished anything other than not getting killed. Having said that I don't see why it shouldn't be televised. Though it sounds as if it could have used a bit more editing so as not to make us hunters look like such an asanine group to the general public.

One thing to remember though is that someone has to get within 15 yards of this animal in order to drug it to collect the data needed and regardless of who is doing the dart shooting they are just as likely to be charged as this hunter was. May as well be making a bunch of money from it from rich hunters to better fund conservation efforts.

I assure you guys that this rhino did not go to waste at all. Within an hour or two the locals would have had that animal completely butchered.
