for an or angutang, where does the poaching work have to be involved with giving the person an opportunity to to shoot one of the rarest animals in the world? they are spending a lot of money but not linking their efforts to the idea of shooting one of the animals. we should be all in to protect the rhino. >> from their point of view, to present it just so their voice is heard in this. look the nimibians have a situation, they clearly need money, this is a very expensive operation for them. what they have offered is a permit to kill an animal who is apparently elderly past reproductive age. if this is something that can bring them some resource that helps the other animals, why not? >> i think a lot of the dallas safari club are older and past

their reproductive prime as well. i think it creates an incentive to get out of control. especially when they have a regulatory authority. they have done this with polar bears in canada, led to overkilling of polar bears. what about cheetahs in nimibia? we have a list of federally endangered species, in the u.s. and other endangered species. there is no hunting of those endaingz speakers. this is a past policy and sends a wrong message when we are asking people all over the world to protect the rhino, but we are going oallow u.s. citizens to shoot a few of them because they want to mount their heads on a wall. >> not over any international whatever the nimibians choose to do is what the united states responsibility is. >> we have an international arm,

we are active in africa and asia and all parts of the world. these are dlas based safari club members and we think they should be ybting to conservation if they care about the rhino, i'm sure many of them do. but why do they want to link that are contribution to conservation by killing one of the rarest animals in the world? >> i believe they would say they want to protect the greater goal of conservation. wayne pecell ink, thanks for being here. >> joie thank you. >> looking ahead to next week on america tonight, a trashed pacific. >> i think the misconception anything with japanese writing on it is from the tsunami, however we have found numerous items with various writing, korean, japanese, things from the united states as well. >> does it ever

real reporting that brings you the world.

welcome back. we have been talking about the alarming number of allegations of physical, psychological, and sexual abuse of olympic hopefuls at the hands of their coaches. john, we have been talking about lack of accountability. i'm curious how have institutions responded to your legal actions? >> the institutions have responded by denial, blaming the

victims, by enriching their own pockets in terms of legal fees and a corrupt insurance system. if usa swimming and the olympic committee is serious about taking a step in the right direction, the usa swimming has kept a list of child molesters, and i have never seen that list. i think they should disclose the known child molesters in their midst and do something about them. but until congress intervenes, nothing will happen. >> i think that's mind numbing. it seems like such a no-brainer. >> you would think so, but as nancy said this is a world where these guys are traveling around the world together, nobody wants to lose their seat at the world's greatest country club which is what the olympic movement is, and until you have congress come in and say you

have to clean this up -- we're talking about molest children. if you have molested kids -- for example the former president of the united states speed skating molested two kids, admitted it to, in may we tried to get a resolution passed and if you have been convicted of child molestation or confessed to it, you should no long be a member of usspeed skating, and we were unsuccessful. >> unbeliefable. >> we have some community input . . . katherine, i know that your organizationhas an app out there that helps people report anonymous

anonymously. how important is this? >> oh, it's huge. we have a comprehensive policy and program, and our structure is what is key. so our app on top of it speaks to the millennium generation who -- you know, they walk around with smartphones, so we made it anonymous, and we have resources right there. we have the education behavior right there for the athletes to have access to, and, you know, we're -- we're speaking to the generation, and in technology the way -- with our partner, and so we speak in their language in a way for them to communicate. >> and athletes can go to your website for more information. that is all the time we have tonight. thanks to all of our guests. we'll see you ne next time. ♪
