My initial thoughts - I'd like to see the article first, then, why not? Texas has saved several other animals from extinction.
My next thought - what kind of fence does one need to keep a rhino in???

The initial round of HIGH FENCING in Texas, was done during the 60s and 70s to protect Rhinos here in Texas. This is nothing new, it was done in Gillispie & Blanco Counties then as an initiative to save them. And several other species were introduced, as world-wide awareness of depleting species was placed on the forefront of environmental protection.
Sure wished we could do more to save many of the species there and elsewhere from extinction.

With poaching at an all-time high, conservation groups propose moving 6% of South Africa’s white rhinos to a comparable climate in the US

In Nepal, the last surviving population of blackbuck inhabits the Blackbuck Conservation Area south of the Bardia National Park. In 2008, the population was estimated at 184. Source
