Edward may have struck a dog fighting over a pheasant.
Not sure why the animal welfare types are not upset over the untimely death of the pheasant? Maybe the life of a dog is worth the lives of two, or even three, pheasants?
Bad boy Edward. Clearly unfit to rule. Great shot though. A real dead eye dick. The unworthy pheasants of England have been put on notice.

Prince Edward is in hot water with animal rights groups after using a stick to break up a dog fight.
Edward, the third son and youngest child of Queen Elizabeth II, was pictured in Sunday newspapers waving the 1.2-metre stick at the gundogs.
The 44-year-old Earl of Wessex was pictured in newspapers with his shotgun under his arm with his stick in the air and then with it very close to one of the dogs' heads.
The dogs were fighting over a dead pheasant during a shooting outing at the Queen's private Sandringham estate in Norfolk, eastern England, where the royals traditionally spend their winter break.
A Buckingham Palace spokesman said: "It has not been determined that he did strike the dog.
"He broke up the fight with the dogs and pictures show him waving his stick around.
"We cannot confirm, however, whether he struck the dog."
