http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2114122/Donald-Eric-Trump-pictured-posing-trophy-carcasses-big-African-hunt.html#comments Grizzly photos have surfaced of Donald Trump's millionaire sons smiling broadly next to the dead carcasses of wild animals that they shot while on a big game hunt in Africa. Though the two men- Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump- deny any wrong doing and proudly argue that they are hunters, many animal rights advocates are taking jabs at the pair. In one of the photos, 34-year-old Don holds the sawed off tail of an elephant and another the knife that likely cut it.

The pictures were posted on the website for the company that ran the hunting trip to the Matetsi area of Zimbabwe near Victoria Falls. Don denied that he leaked the photos over Twitter: 'Not a PR move I didn't give the pics but I have no shame about them either. I HUNT & EAT game'. 'I AM A HUNTER I don't hide from that,' he said to another critic on Twitter. Rare game: The pair pose with the 12'8" crocodile that they killed on the trip, which was not their first Costly sport: The kill fee for this Waterbuck was $1,997.00 The company, called Hunting Legends, detailed the brother's trip and said that it was not the first time that the Manhattan real estate moguls arranged a trip with them. Though the pricing for the trip is not publicly available, it was certainly a costly endeavor. The 2012 trophy fees for each of the animals they shot, and for the deer-like animal called the Kudu they paid at least $2,795.00 and another $1,997.00 for the Waterbuck they were pictured with. 'The Trump's soon showed their metal and it was evident from the word go that these two amazing young men are everything but the "city slickers" you would expect!' the Hunting Legends site reads. 'They meant business from the outset of the hunt.' The tour guide went on to say that they had 'the precision of a true marksman'. Don has been diligent about responding to angry comments on Twitter, and argued that their actions were justified because the meat was used to feed hungry villagers.

Don't really have a problem with this, as I don't know the circumstances behind the kills. If, as the article says, it was to feed villagers, I"m okay with it. I will say that the "lynching" pic of the croc was a bit disturbing.

| ^The circumstances are spoilt rich boys killing for fun. If they want to feed the villagers they could easily do so without killing defenceless animals. They are cowards hiding behind trees with their high tech rifles. |

| You're only mad because it's Donald Trump's kids and he hates Obama. Millions of people around the world hunt for fun. Whatever. ANIMALS ARE NOT PEOPLE! |

I am not a fan of hunting by any means, but every animal you find packaged in the grocery store is a "defenseless animal." |

His sons are grown adults, why would you boycot his show for something his adult children did?
Not that I'm watching the show anyway. I find Trump annoying, but this doesn't change how I feel about him. |

No. They had their status removed after the numbers got way too high. |

It wasn't a "lynching" just hanging it for a better picture. Plus you always hang an animal to drain the blood and make skinning it easier. |

I'm aware, but just the whole thing of white guys standing around something hanging was disturbing to me. |

| Wow, I have to say that Don Jr and Eric look downright hot in these photos. They always look so dumpy and doughy and dorky in their suits, but the scruffy beards- wow! I might even be able to be convinced to marry one of them for their money after seeing these pix! |
