King Charles has been accused of hypocrisy after 12 foxes were “shot and strung up like trophies” on Crown Estate land, we can reveal.

The grim discovery in ­countryside owned by the monarch, near Penicuik, ­Midlothian, sparked a police probe and comes as Charles claims to be at one with the natural world in a documentary out this week.

Campaigners have written to the King urging him to intervene after images obtained by the Sunday Mail showed the slaughtered animals, with some of the bloody carcasses draped over a fence near a publicly accessible path.

They are native there. Your argument lacks merit, let me be the first to downvote your despicable comment.

    Oh, we should just let the predator populations explode, ensuring they hunt prey populations to extinction before they all starve to death, solving the problem altogether. Big brain idea, we need visionaries like you in charge of wildlife!

    Ah yes, predator control, coming from the groups that have long wanted to wipe every predator off the face of the land. From wolves to foxes, cormorants to birds of prey, (which royal properties habitually illegally poison by the way and use their influence to avoid investigation, as per a recent guardian investigation,) bears to mountain lions, tigers, lions, african painted dogs and dholes and dingos.

    It is not surprising someone giving the benefit of the doubt to such people wanting to extirpate predators would have an annoying moving picture in their name on the thread too, it speaks to your character that you opted to annoy everyone you interact with as such.
