| King Juan Carlos' safari trip to Africa was the reason why he was ousted as president of WWF Spain |
After the huge embarrassment he’d endured after his highly
publicized African safari trip, King Juan Carlos of Spanish received another
slapped on his face after World Wide Fund (WWF) for Nature’s branch in Spain decided
to abolish the position of honorary president, which was held by the King.
The King’s hunting trip to Botswana in April this year has
caused much furor from environmentalists, as well as from his fellowmen who
continues to suffer from Eurozone’s credit crunch.
The King has already publicly apologized but it was too
late. More than 85,000 people petitioned through the internet for the King’s
resignation.
"Although this type of hunting is legal and regulated,
many members consider it to be incompatible with the position of honorary
patron of an international organisation that aims to protect the
environment," the WWF statement said on Saturday. The vote to abolish the
position of honorary president was carried by a 94% majority, it said.
