Donald Trump’s sons investigated over hunting trip in Zimbabwe
The investigation was launched after photos were published online showing Donald Jr and Eric posing with dead game animals.
The independent Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force alleged that the Trump sons had killed an elephant, endangered leopard, a buffalo, a crocodile and other “big game” animals on a 2011 trip arranged by a South African Safari firm not registered in Zimbabwe.
A flurry of protests trailed the release of the hunting photos online – one pictured both men standing with the dead leopard and in another photograph one brother was seen holding up an elephant’s severed tail in one hand and a knife in the other.

always think they can do anything they want and get away with it. 
that they may have used hunting dogs makes me even more livid than I already was. That fecking apple certainly didn't fall far from the tree. Of course we are supposed to be placated with the notion that they gave the meat away to starving villagers, riiiiiight
pic and not cry. 
Maybe next time they go hunting someone will mistake them for game.
What's great about the internet is that you can't do shitty things and expect people NOT to find out almost immediately and get outraged.
Hold the bastards accountable.
What they did was disgusting, cruel and vile. Shame on them!
As for leopards being endangered, the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species disagrees.
Note that the status of "Near Threatened" is the second best status for a species. Limited hunting won't threaten the species as a whole.
It's not my cup of tea, but it's their money...if they want to spend it hunting big game, who am I or anyone else to say no as long as game laws are followed?
and then continue in their afterlife. I bet that even if they end up getting fined, these two and dear old dad will find them a way to weasel out of it, or they will find a way to make a small* token payment so as to sweep it under then rug.
These people, if you can call them that, make me so damn furious.
I hope these animals find their way across BriFrost to a better place. 
* Small for them, not for normal people.
Your hope seems, well, unlikely at best.
As for any likely fine, I agree that it would be largely meaningless to them, given their level of wealth.
One of them is that thing such as ghosts, angels, Bigfoot, etc., have never been scientifically documented to exist.
Does that mean that by definition they don't exist? Of course not...you can't prove a negative. I will assert that they don't exist.
I think a quote from Ghostbusters is appropriate at this time:
"Do you believe in UFOs, astral projections, mental telepathy, ESP, clairvoyance, spirit photography, telekinetic movement, full trance mediums, the Loch Ness monster and the theory of Atlantis?"
"If there's a steady paycheck in it, I'll believe anything you say."
Talk about nailing it to the wall...! 
Having seen and experienced animal ghosts, I know they are real. That is part of my world view and I think it adds so much more to the wonders of life. 
at least I hope you do.
As for me, I know what I have experienced, and I know that not all people can or will see the world as I have.
I also know something about science as I have a B.S. in Geology. I have done graduate work in Karst and Urban Hydrogeological processes and TA'd in classes ranging from Paleo to GeoPhys. If it hadn't been for a medical condition, I would have finished my Masters and moved on to my Doctorate. It really pissed me off when I couldn't finish, I was a semester or two away and I already had my contact with and work with the man that would have been my Doctoral advisor.
Not everything can be explained with science as it is now. Every day we hear about new discoveries, theories, and methods. If you could go back 500 years, and told someone about radio waves, they would think you were mad. You would know they are real but you would have no way to show others. It wasn't until we advanced in other areas that we could see and know such things.

There are things like the alchemical transmutation of base metals to gold. For ages stories raged that it could be done and that led to many alchemists devoting their lives to furthering their science. There were also a great many who said it was impossible or dark magick, something only the supernatural could ever do. We do know though that through modern technology, as in atomic reactors, we can transmute Mercury to Gold, even if it is only in very minute amounts and at great cost.* These technologies are beyond anything those original alchemists or their detractors could imagine.
As to ghosts and other supernatural entities, it is true that there is no scientific evidence of their existence. That does not mean they don’t exist, it just means we can’t comprehend them. It could be that environmental factors trigger certain reactions in the brain, or it could be that only those with certain brain characteristics can detect them. That said, sometime in the future, science might not only explain them, but find ways for everyone to experience them.
I'm sure I won't convince you, but now you know where I'm coming from.

Digusting little elitist scum.
Or pretend to be.
These are some of the most amazing people I have ever met and absolutely dedicated to protecting the animals of the Mara.
