Bad judgement by King of Spain

You don't need me to remind you that elephants are not only amazing and beautiful creatures, they are also endangered.  Despite this fact, the King of Spain participated in an elephant hunt back in April of this year.  Although it was some time ago, Don Juan Carlos needs to be reminded that he is sending the wrong kind of message to his country.

Don Juan apologised for taking part in an African elephant hunt during a period in which Spanish unemployment rose to 23 percent, he did not mention that killing threatened or endangered animals is wrong and needs to do so.  Elephants are disappearing at an alarming rate, no thanks to hunting and the trade in illegal ivory still thriving.
