A South African judge has
lifted a domestic ban on trade in rhino horns, in a direct challenge to
government policy put in place in 2009 to try to stem rocketing poaching
numbers, the AFP news agency reports. The government gave no immediate reaction to the
judge's ruling, which was delivered in the Pretoria High Court after two South
African game breeders fought a legal battle to overturn the moratorium, it
reports.
