Because you have to be a specially trained game keeper and have a licence in relation to culling rather than someone who has just paid tens of thousands of dollars to just kill giraffes.

In parts of Africa such as Kenya, the British Army patrols with local forces in order to protect the wildlife.

Perhaps she should try Kenya next time as the British Army can shoot back unlike a giraffe and perhaps they can take photos standing on her dead carcass.

Though being the coward she is I doubt she would agree to this.

Yes, because you can get meat in the grocery store that did not involve killing an animal.

And sometimes, as seen above...they heedlessly walk right into it.



Well played, Toyman.

In the 80’s I shot a caped Buffalo with a Sharps .50-140 single shot rifle. Guide thought I was nuts. Dropped it with one round.

Since she's a woman, I'll guess absent or affection-withholding daddy.
Or maybe she's just a normal person with different interests than yourself. One mature enough not to insult and belittle those that chose different ways to spend their time.

It was too old to breed itself. It was killing younger giraffes who were capable of breeding. It was not "rare". It was dark because it was so old. 2000 pounds of meat feeds a lot of people.

American meat eaters rallying against this woman are nothing but judgmental hypocrites who hate the poor and the starving.

My only question is why is there so much starvation in Africa when so much meat is available from a single hunt?

Yes, shooting an endangered animal and bragging about it on Instagram screams maturity.

And some areas need the money from game hunters for their conservation programs, so they allow a hunter to shoot the animal they would otherwise have removed anyway.

Just becuase there is corruption in Africa does not make this right, and there are plenty of conservation projects that don't involve idiotic game hunters like this woman.

Killing primarily for fun which this was is wrong. Children who do this we see as a sign as something wrong. It is also wrong as adults.

The rest is just virtue signalling and pretending you actually care about everything else. If this was not a canned hunt (bull) she did not know any of the things she wrote at the time of the kill.
