Contents 1 No giraffe 2 Adding to the article 3 CITES 4 Black Rhino only Not White

[edit] No giraffe

This is almost right - but the giraffe has NEVER been big five. What South African bank note has a picture of it? Its a Cheetah.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.132.191.82 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Adding to the article

Any chance of adding to this article. It seems innapropriately short. 88.155.36.98 09:02, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes please add. Anyone got a pic of a cheetah?--Polygamistx4 01:17, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] CITES

CITES should be mentioned in the article. As techinically you can only import African Elephant/Cape Buffalo and can not import the other 3 (As they are in CITES App 1). This somtimes effects legally taken trophys being transported to countries who have restrictions on importations.Not all countries signed the treaty. Not all countries that signed the treaty enforce all or any of the restrictions of the treaty. So what do people think? People who know what they are talking about! Not biased anti hunting thanks!--203.192.91.4 14:16, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Different countries have different national laws on endangered animals. End of story. Captain Obvious strikes again. 21:50, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Black Rhino only Not White

It has always been Black Rhino and never the White Rhino in the Big 5. The fact that only 10 Blacks can be hunted a year legally only starting 3 years ago, does not mean the White Rhino can now be included. Its a great marketing tool by those who supply hunts in Africa, but its not part of the Big 5. Including the White is the same as saying you are using the origonal recipe but using a substitute item. Its just wrong! Since its a saying that was invented over 100 years ago and nobody owns. It can not be updated by any means. Why not change the animals because of cost, easy to hunt, location? It just can not be done even if others are incoprrectly changing the definition of somthing they do not have the right too.--203.192.91.4 (talk) 09:58, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
