King of Spain Shoots Drunk Bear

From today's San Diego Union:

A Russian region has ordered an inquiry into a report that hunt organizers, keen to make the king of Spain's chances of killing a bear easier, provided a tame one drunk on vodka, a regional spokesman said Thursday.
This followed efforts to allow the king to drop a piano from a tall building onto a wildebeest and blow up a termite mound with dynamite.

"I just love those old Warner Brothers cartoons," said the king. "I was happy to pay whatever it took to launch an anvil from a giant rubber band and smash that rascally rabbit to smithereens!"

The Russian news service has released this video of the king hunting.

That's disgusting. Don't they have laws against cruelty to animals in Spain?
