This video is called Marianne Thieme on Ethical Politics.
Translated from daily De Volkskrant in the Netherlands:
“Willem-Alexander must stop hunting”
03.31.13, 11:43
According to Marianne Thieme, the new King Willem-Alexander
of the Netherlands, to be inaugurated on 30 April
should dump his hunting shotgun. “He should not prioritize his personal hobbies,” said the leader of the Party for the Animals in the Eva Jinek TV show on Sunday.
The beloved hobby of Willem-Alexander is fundamentally at odds with what the majority of Dutch people think, emphasizes Thieme. “The majority of the Dutch think that hunting really does not fit into this century,” she says. …
Thieme insists to Jinek that the king is supposed to lead by example. “This includes that you take into account what is acceptable here in the Netherlands.”
THE Dutch equivalent of the RSPCA has dismissed Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands as its patron because she allows boar hunting on the royal estates: here.
Spanish animal rights advocates are targeting the centuries-old ritual of pigsticking, in which hunters on horseback kill wild boar with spears: here.

I think pressure should be put on all these spoiled Royal heirs that if they are to succeed they should stop killing – pheasants or deer in England, elephants in Africa – boar – wolves, bears, whatever…..
Animal rights groups should start a pressure group!!!!

In the Netherlands, it is mainly wild boar and red deer (brought especially from abroad to the Veluwe region in the Netherlands for royal hunting). And birds:

Queen Beatrix, mother of (for now, still Crown Prince) Willem-Alexander was sacked as patroness of the Dutch Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals because of the royal hunting parties.
