While their father, Donald Trump, is against hunting, his sons clearly see no issue with stalking and killing large exotic animals.
In a tweet defending his position in the controversy, Donald, Jr. wrote:
" I have no shame about [the pics]. I HUNT & EAT game ... I'm a hunter, for that I make no apologies."
Jack Carone (In Defense of Animals) said "Would any intelligent person feel moved to murder a magnificent elephant, then further insult and desecrate by hacking off his or her tail as an additional gesture of dominance?"
