Rip prince Phillip

yep we’re all killers, it’s stuff we eat, as to the wild boar they are a pest in N Germany and many are shot. I wonder where the figure of 59 came from. Be interesting to see the proof behind that one.

It's all a bit of a Boar.

30,000 pheasants must take some eating.

I did a bit of maths on the claim he’d shot x amount 4 days a week for 7 weeks - laughable. And if the claim is questionable, just how accurate is the article?

But hey, it’s fodder for those that want to have a pop.

Exactly, you have to question the mindset of people that dig up an article that’s nearly 7 years old reporting something that he did 60 years ago just to show him in a bad light, then posting it on a thread specifically created to mark his passing. Some people are just wired wrong! ??‍

not really if that article is anything to go by -

Over the past 30 years Prince Philip has killed many kinds of animals.

Figures compiled from press reports by the anti-bloodsports lobby suggest that in Britain alone he has shot at least 30,000 pheasants.

He has also killed deer, rabbit, hare, wild duck, snipe, woodcock, teal, pigeon and partridge in the UK.

Prince Philip used to shoot wild boar in Germany. He and Prince Charles are said to have killed 50 in one day.

30’000 pheasants ???

Who is counting ??

I’m surprised you aren’t condemning your fans for setting off fireworks during the 2 min silence for him ?
