Anyone that posts these types of pictures on social media know what they're doing.
That said, it states that this particular animal is not endangered, meat was actually used from the giraffe, and as long as it was killed relatively quickly, I don't have a problem with it that much.
Photos of a female hunter from Kentucky proudly showing off the results of her “dream hunt” – a dead black giraffe in South Africa – have ignited a firestorm across social media after being picked up by a local African media outlet.
“White American savage who is partly a Neanderthal comes to Africa and shoot down a very rare black giraffe courtesy of South Africa stupidity,” read the June 2018 tweet, posted by Africa Digest. “Her name is Tess Thompson Talley. Please share.”
Usual story-the anti-hunting types make vile attacks on the hunter, threaten her and spew lies. Not exactly a surprise. They aren't exactly the sharpest knives in the drawer.
