Trophy hunters are murderers!

paul8769davis So sorry for the beautiful beast😢😢🙏🙏🙏🐘🐘🐘

nothing to be proud of by a long chalk how can you sleep, its fkn way out of order what gives you the right to take another animails life you fkn scumb bag.

Why are they allowed to do this? Does a dead Elephant bring in more money than a live one?

Kill them pleasenot elephants how brave give elephants weapons .

Fkin bunch of picks hunted

I've got a name for them too . . . Wankers

Anyone who does this is a first rate arsehole

Why would anyone want to do this 😡

This is really sick, I hate it

It’s an absolute disgrace how much they charge you for it now. I went lion hunting for my 50th birthday & no change out of five grand! Got lots of kills (including her cubs) but can only afford it once a year!

Absolute disgrace

Shame we can’t cancel their passports to stop them leaving the UK. Why should we support this abhorrent slaughter of defenceless animals.

I have never felt so disgusted and ashamed to be British seeing this, these two are the worse kind of people, how can they possibly feel proud?

If you can’t eat, you don’t need it. Stop senselessly killing animals you don’t harvest as a necessity for food.

its all done right though they aren't poaching or anything they pay tae do this&pay a load tae&they only shoot the older1s usually I don't see the problem if u don't like it then don't do it but the1s who don't like it shouldn't be able tae stop other people doing it

Cxxts!

Gosh....What a surprise..

Treat them like the went to fight for ISIS. Ban them from returning. Obviously would be mech better if they were savaged by their prey but you can’t have everything

Don't let them back........................................ As they are 'terrorizing' nature. Treat them as such FFS, before the only wild animals you can go to see are in a museum!!!!
