The largest rhino farmer in Namibia says the arrest of his South African role model and mentor, John Hume, is a kind of witch hunt and politically motivated. Jaco Muller of the Rhino Momma Project expressed his opinion after the world's largest rhino farmer was arrested last week. Asked whether Namibia's application to CITES for the legal trade in rhino horn would be negatively affected by this, Muller said that Hume had gone bankrupt precisely because of the ban on the legal trade in rhino horn. "If it weren't for this ban, he would still be the largest rhino farmer in the world, and still busy increasing the global rhino population by almost 200 calves every year. I am 110 percent sure that he is innocent, and that this is politically motivated." "The facts will come to light, and if I am wrong, I would be deeply shocked," Muller told Network Media Hub (NMH) Publishing. Müller has already visited Hume twice and asked him how to farm white rhinos.
