A Kentucky woman is facing harsh criticism on social media after photographs circulated on Twitter showing her posing with a giraffe she killed on a South African safari last year.
A tweet last month from @africlandpost showed photobig-game hunter Tess Thompson Talley exulting with the dead giraffe. “White american savage who is partly a neanderthal comes to Africa and shoot down a very rare black giraffe courtesy of South Africa stupidity,” the tweet said. It named Talley and added: “Please share.”
Some celebrities joined the criticism, with comedian Ricky Gervais tweeting: “What’s 16 feet tall and has a c**t on the back of its neck?” Actress Debra Messing wrote: “Tess Thompson Talley from Nippa, Kentucky is a disgusting, vile, amoral, heartless, selfish murderer.”
Trophy hunting is legal in South Africa, as well as in Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe, but is often condemned on social media. Walter Palmer, a Minnesota dentist, was scorned in 2015 for killing “Cecil the Lion” near a national park in Zimbabwe.

Perhaps she should have invited BHO & Co. to the feast?
OTOH, showing off a loaf of homemade giraffe bread instead might have been a bit less controversial.
Thank God we don't need your approval here in PA to hunt deer {or anywhere else on the planet}.
If it offends you, how do you feel about sport f**king?
Do you issue permits of approval?
I have to admit, hunting a giraffe seems to me like hunting a holstein cow.
Not sure why you’d kill one, unless you were hungry, or you had too many giraffes in a given area.
Yes, AND people were fed. That is a secondary benefit as well as the money paid goes to park to support other wildlife. People in this forum do not understand how big game park hunting works. It promotes healthy herds and heps fight poaching.
I get tired of the “I oppose trophy Hunting” repeaters.
From the Article:
” She wrote: “Prayers for my once in a lifetime dream hunt came true today! Spotted this rare black giraffe bull and stalked him for quite a while. I knew it was the one. He was over 18 years old, 4000 lbs. and was blessed to be able to get 2000 lbs. of meat from him.” “
If she aborted her baby, the same people would be celebrating what she did.
Thing is, she didn’t kill it for nourishment but for sport. She posted it to get more hits to her FB. That’s pure evil.
I can’t stand the Faux Sanctimony even more.
Get lost. Your post is stupid and vulgar.
No one’s asking for his approval. I don’t know the guy - but I doubt he’d even wanna ask for yours.
He’s stating an opinion. A valid opinion. Your response has nothing whatsoever to do with his opinion.
The women? Gayle King and Norduh O’Donnell and the gay CBS reporter all agreed that this is bad and they wondered aloud why do hunters pose with their kill, it shocked them.
I think if they could they would outlaw deer hunting.
Right in the article:”...He was over 18 years old, 4000 lbs. and was blessed to be able to get 2000 lbs. of meat from him.”
They got a literal ton of meat from it.
Probably tastes like beef.
I'll bet not one of them blinks an eye when women talk about their abortions as a matter of pride...
Almost certain, which really makes you wonder about these kooks.
They got 2,000 lbs of meat from this giraffe. It will go to the locals as food. It won't be wasted.
Does it taste like chicken ?
When asked what She felt when shooting the Giraffe ?
She said slight recoil...
I hunt. But I hate trophy hunters. If you don’t use, or eat what you shoot your must be cold blooded murderer.
