Prince Charles is being heavily criticized for his choice of donation to a charitable auction. After meeting some members of the Ballater Charitable Chiels in Scotland, he donated a hunting trip for four on the Balmoral Estate, complete with professional trackers, to their silent auction, which benefits breast cancer and other charities. The value of the package is about £2,000, but the fact that the money would go to charity is no consolation to animal rights activists, who are questioning whether this is an appropriate gift because it supports the suffering of animals.
