A rhinoceros sedated, blindfolded, and hung upside down for a helicopter ride
Nearly 350 rhinos have been poached in South Africa in 2011 so far, a number that has already surpassed the total poached in 2010. The World Wildlife Fund and the South African government are joining forces to protect some of the remaining rhino population one helicopter ride at a time.

Let’s hope that the sedation lasts for the entire trip.
I need to be able to “like” this comment.
One more way to end a ‘Your mama’s so fat’ joke.
I look forward to playing with rhinos in the New Earth.
Well I hope they don’t run him into any trees, talk about turbulence.
Some might say this is inhumane, but I would absolutely love an upside down helicopter rope ride.
Strong ankles.
That’s the only way Hannibal, Face, and Murdock could get B.A. to fly.
*snerk* I can just imagine Mr. T’s face if he woke up during such a flight.
How do they let them down if they’re upside down without crushing them? I’m sure they have a way, I just can’t think of it.
