On social media, users welcomed the king’s decision. “Charles is the first king of England who is worried about the mistreatment of geese. He obviously remembers that humans are just one group in the animal kingdom. This is a good sign!”
Some of the activist subjects, although they noted this decision of the king, however, considered it insufficient: “It would be great if the king banned the hunting of all animals.” In addition, animal advocates are replacing the bearskin hats worn by the royal guards with faux fur.
