Martin Clunes has been strongly criticised by animal rights activists for riding an elephant in one of his TV shows.

The footage aired on ITV's My Travels and Other Animals.

As a result, the actor has also been dropped from his role as patron of the animal welfare charity Born Free.

Riding elephants is now considered an unethical practice by many, so is it right that Clunes was dismissed from his role?

Kim Buckley and Niall Shanahan joined us for The Week Trending to discuss this issue and some of the other stories making the news this week.
