The nub of this is once more down to Morrissey and PETA's (People for the Euthanasia of Troublesome Animals) mutable viewpoint of whether you see a mouse as important a creature as your local heart surgeon. Many do not. Like it or not there is a difference between shooting one of many, many wild boar in a managed area, and one of just three thousand tigers. I don't expect people such as Morrissey to understand such things. So perverse is his world view he would not be sure whether to rescue a toddler or a daddy long-legs from a burning house.
There's no doubt this hunting expedition was poorly timed, but it seems to me the simple fact wild boar (and deer) are not endangered species...

... while African elephants and tigers are both on the brink has some bearing on this.
In this instance the Royal Family are lending their support to a campaign to reduce the extermination of endangered species:
"Prince Charles, president of the wildlife charity WWF UK, starts the message with a warning that the trade has reached "unprecedented levels of killing and related violence" and poses a threat not only to endangered animals but to economic and political stability around the globe.
He says: "More than 30,000 elephants were killed last year, amounting to nearly 100 deaths per day. In the past 10 years, 62% of African forest elephants have been lost. If this rate continues, the forest elephant will be extinct within 10 years. A rhinoceros is killed every 11 hours. As recently as 100 years ago, there were as many as 100,000 wild tigers living in Asia. Today, there are believed to be fewer than 3,200 left in the wild."
The duke [William], who is royal patron of the wildlife conservation charity Tusk Trust, says he wants future generations, including his son, George, to be able to appreciate protected wildlife. "This year, I have become even more devoted to protecting the resources of the Earth for not only my own son but also the other children of his generation to enjoy," he says."

As usual Morrissey's desire to attack the Royals trumps all other considerations, including the parlous situation faced by certain increasingly rare creatures in Africa and Asia. Where is Morrissey's condemnation of these crimes?
Morrissey is far, far more concerned with his ongoing battle against the evil British: a battle he cannot win. If you remember his loathing of Britain moved into top gear in 1996/7 when a High Court Judge had the temerity to refuse to do exactly as Morrissey wanted, based, apparently controversially, solely on the evidence.
There are some Royals Morrissey seemingly has no issue with whatsoever, regardless of their actions...

Perhaps if he'd taken up the cudgels against Juan Carlos too, I'd be less likely to question his true motives.
I'll also take him far more seriously when he aims that blabbering blunderbuss of a mouth at the poachers of Africa and Asia. I think we'll be waiting a long time before that happens. I'm sure when the final tiger falls dead in Morrissey's eyes that too will be down to the failure of the Royal family to prevent it, rather than those responsible.
