A Houston businessman who spent more than $250,000 on a safari in Africa has sued the South African operator for failing to deliver two horns from the white rhinoceros he bagged. Kevin Poynter, president of Poynter Commercial Properties in Houston, says in a Harris Co. lawsuit that he put his trust in Limcroma Safaris to ship the horns back to Houston, as promised, but is still waiting, more than a year after the trip in August and September of 2015. The Houston Chronicle has all the details.
