Fury as royal takes elephant-hunting trip while Eurozone crisis bat...

SPAIN'S King Juan Carlos has been slammed for hunting elephants in Botswana while his country struggles with the economic crisis.

Spanish newspapers criticised the cost of the trip at a time when one in two of the country's young people are unemployed.

El Mundo newspaper said: “It was an irresponsible trip, taken at the worst possible moment.

“The image of a monarch hunting elephants in Africa at a time when the economic crisis in our country creates so many problems for the Spanish people is a very poor example."

The incident brought back memories of a 2006 hunting trip, which saw the king pictured with a dead elephant and two buffalo.

But the holiday would have remained secret if the 74-year-old royal had not 

fractured his hip after tripping on a step.

The king, who is the honorary president of the World Wildlife Fund's Spanish branch, was rushed back to Madrid to undergo hip replacement surgery.

Despite his trip abroad, the king recently claimed there were times when he could not sleep because of worries about Spain's youth unemployment.

Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, who visited the injured royal yesterday, said he was recovering well.

He explained: “I saw him being very upbeat. He will recover very soon and resume his usual duties.”

Web spoof ... King Juan Carlos mocked up as action hero Rambo

The accident comes just days after the king's 13-year-old grandson, Felipe Juan Froilan, shot himself in the foot with a shotgun during target practice.

And in 2006, officials denied reports that the king had killed a bear which had been made drunk during a Russian hunting trip.

Online jokers were quick to make light of the incident, picturing the king as movie action man Rambo, hunting animals while armed with a rocket launcher. Source

Austerity, what's that? Spanish King Juan Carlos slammed for £27,00...

Somehow the MSM will turn this around and justify the elite's killing of these animals for sport, and make it the collective fault of 'we the peons' of this world.

Its time for the 99% to start hunting these fuckers into extinction!!! :(
