I WATCHED Prince William’s interview on TV the other night and was very impressed by his concern for wild animals namely the rhinos and elephants nearing extinction.
Then he contradicted himself and condoned trophy hunting “in some circumstances” if the animal is old.
Is the hunter supposed to ask the animal its age now before he murders it to satisfy his blood lust.
What a senseless comment for William to make.
Blood sport is blood sport no matter how old the animal is, it has a right to die naturally in its old age, as does any animal... And die free in the wild.
He should set an example to us and condemn ALL blood sports.
