If Donald Trump’s adult sons, Eric Trump and Donald Trump, Jr., are under fire for recent photos that have surfaced of their big game hunt in Africa last year.

Watch the montage of pics in the video below and it’s clear why.

Eric and Donald Jr., both of whom are featured on Trump’s NBC reality show Celebrity Apprentice, went on a big game hunting adventure in Zimbabwe a year ago.

But thanks to a wildlife enthusiast’s recent video of photos from that trip, featured on the website Hunting Legends, they’re now getting some attention:

Photos show the Trump sons posing with their trophy kills, including an elephant – with Don Jr. holding its severed tail – kudu, waterbuck, buffalo and others.

Donald Trump, who says he personally doesn’t believe in hunting, said:

“My sons love hunting. They’re both hunters and they’ve become good at it. I know that anything they did was 100% OK in terms of the hunting community.”

Jack Carone of the group In Defense of Animals was less supportive.

 
“Would any intelligent person feel moved to murder a magnificent elephant, then further insult and desecrate by hacking off his/her tail as an additional gesture of dominance?”

“Privilege has clearly not bought them the sensitivity or wisdom needed to view the world as anything but their personal playground, including the imagined entitlement to end the lives of sensitive and social animals for mere amusement.”

“This is truly a pitiful testimony to their lack of character and compassion, at the ultimate expense of their innocent fellow Earthlings.”
