They traveled to South Africa where she shot and posed with zebra and giraffe.
There have been several such controversies the past few years where young girls faced backlash over hunting photos. Seems like an attention grab for sure, we all know how anything on social media spreads fast. Looks like they're itching to provoke and become the new 'heroes' for the gun movement.
Pictures, in the field, with the animals harvested? On an African , once in a lifetime, hunt? Now why would anyone do that? Sheesh, but these bunny huggers need to get a life. So they don't hunt, they can't stomach the idea, so don't hung and don't look at the pictures of other people's hunts. Nobody is forcing anyone toook at this girls FB page.
How's that kldd song go? "Just mind your own business, and you won't be minding mine".
That is a shame. However, it is the age of 'social media', where anonymous people are quick to condemn, with perfect safety to themselves.
I do not hunt, but I am glad that she says she will not give up hunting. More and more hunting in sub-Sahara African is controlled, with mainly ill or problem animals being allowed to be hunted by local authorities. I did not even get upset over the Trump sons hunting, since I believe they killed a sickly elephant (and paid a lot to do so, which money often goes to the rangers to protect the herds).
Of course, I am sure that local predators that would have liked to bring down that elephant, but such is life.
I guess the bleeding hearts don't realize that hunting trips like that feed the African locals.
Locals can hunt also, they don't need some foreign trophy hunter to fly in and do it for them.. plus locals don't traditionally eat game meat,

Traditionally, the Maasai diet consisted of raw meat, raw milk, and raw blood from cattle.
The Maasai do not eat game meat, and use the bodies of their killed lions for three products; the mane, tail and claws. The mane is beaded by women of the community, and given back to the hunter, who wears it over his head on special occasions.

The "Hunting farm" disagrees with you...

He also said that the meat from the animals they killed was donated to a local village and will feed 800 orphans over the next month.

OK. So, the locals can hunt, but they don't use the meat for anything. So, why should they hunt? What not let the bwana come in, drop some coin on them, and take what is probably a problem animal out of their hair? Culling animals is a chore to them, so seems sensible to me for them to just sit back and get paid for someone else to do the work. They aren't stupid. They're thinking bwana is the stupid one. (Shrug)
Plus, if trophy hunting is so contemptable a practice, aren't the Massai just trophy hunters? After all, a slain lion is used only for very little, in the end. Yep, just a trophy. In light of all this, your post seems...contradictory. Or, am I missing something here. Hidden sarcasm, perhaps?

So by that logic sex tourism should be encouraged because it will feed the families of exploited children?
