REBECCA FRANCIS responds to giraffe photo controversy: Rebecca states, “When I was in Africa five years ago I was of the mindset that I would never shoot a giraffe. I was approached toward the end of my hunt with a unique circumstance. They showed me this beautiful old bull giraffe that was wandering all alone. He had been kicked out of the herd by a younger and stronger bull. He was past his breeding years and very close to death. They asked me if I would preserve this giraffe by providing all the locals with food and other means of survival. He was inevitably going to die soon and he could either be wasted or utilized by the local people. I chose to honor his life by providing others with his uses and I do not regret it for one second. Once he was down there were people waiting to take his meat. They also took his tail to make jewelry, his bones to make other things, and did not waste a single part of him. I am grateful to be a part of something so good”
REBECCA FRANCIS is a HUNTER/CONSERVATIONIST and we stand behind her 100%!!
Rebecca is a good Lady and a hell of a hunter. Had the pleasure of hunting with her at a benefit hunt hunt we were doing for the Brooks Army Medical Center, all the hunters were wounded and recovering Vets. If anybody doubts her hunting skills they need to see the video of her record class Big Horn, she took with a bow. Not many can ever say they’ve done that.
