Killing Elephants & Large Cats, Just Another Outing For Donald Trumps Sons

Newly surfacing images of Donald Trump's sons have put the men under fire from animal rights activists for an African hunting expedition in which they took part last year.

Donald Trump Jr. and his brother Eric are seen with the animals that they killed, all the photos are in a YouTube slideshow below. In one photo, Trump Jr., who appears alongside his father on The Celebrity Apprentice, is seen holding a knife and the cut-off tail of an elephant.

PETA told E! News "If the young Trumps are looking for a thrill, perhaps they should consider skydiving, bungee jumping, or even following in their anti-hunting father's footsteps and taking down competing businesses -- not wild animals."

The Trump brothers said in their own statement to E! News, "We have the utmost respect for nature and have always hunted in accordance with local laws and regulations. In addition, all meat was donated to local villagers who were incredibly grateful. We love traveling and being in the woods -- at the end of the day, we are outdoorsmen at heart."
