When the King of Spain goes elephant hunting.

In fact, when I saw the AFP news break that King Juan Carlos had been injured during a hunting safari in Botswana, I didn't want to talk about it. I thought, what's the point, it's just rubbing salt in the wound. And then I stumbled upon this photo.

At that moment, I felt like throwing up.

First, I never understand why, when you hunt, you have to take a photo with the animals you've killed? To show how powerful you are? Like, "Woohoo, look at me with my gun, I killed the biggest beast in the savannah." It just sickens me...

Let's take a moment to look at his companion. The gentleman posing is the organizer of this hunt. Jeff Rann sells his safaris to very rich (or not) people. He says of himself, "dangerous game is my passion." For this great pleasure, it costs €46,000, a trifle!

I'll spare you his photos on his website, they're barely tolerable, but you have the link if you want to feel nauseous too!

Otherwise, the joke is that Juan Carlos is the honorary president of the WWF, yes, you read that right. Like, the people who fiercely defend endangered species, protected species. In short, animals, and he just goes and kills an elephant! If you were told it was a joke, you wouldn't even believe it because it's in such bad taste!

The King of Spain nevertheless apologized and promised not to do it again, understandably, the people of Spain were very angry...

Otherwise, if you like elephants, at Peau-Ethique we have some very cute ones as organic comforters!
