She does not back down. I like that.

Animal populations must be managed.

The idea of "balance" in nature is a myth.

Images from the site were not posted. It never existed. There is no balance between predators and prey. There are wild fluctuations and extinctions.

The idiots going ape sht over this only do the bidding of poachers. Besides, hunters are the only viable paying maintainers of conservation easement for wild habitat.

In these kinds of hunts, the animal that is taken is often selected ahead of time to be culled because they are past breeding age.

Yes, or for other good and sufficient reasons.

If I was a liberal looking for someone to chastise I would probably pick one who wasn’t such a good shot.

“It’s a hobby, it’s something that I love to do,” she said and explained that the 2017 kill was part of a conservation effort to manage the wildlife population in the area.

Animals on protected reserves have to be periodically hunted or they will over breed and destroy their habitat. Then they will venture out on to surrounding farms and consume the farmer’s crops and be killed by the farmer.

Other places hunters go for the big game experience are game ranches where the rancher raises and protects the wildlife for profit. That profit is made when hobbyist like Talley pay to shoot and kill big game.

Like the conservation cull that Talley paid to participate in most hunters kill the old and infirm. Some who are willing to pay big, BIG money can kill the young and healthy.

The more important point that the Libs ignore or choose to not see is that animals that produce profit are much more common than those that do not. Which is more common pigs or hippopotami? Which is more common Holstein cows or prong horn antelope? The obvious answer is the farm animals are much more common than the wild animals. Why? Because someone owns them, and their lives produce profit for their owners.

Talley paid to shoot the Giraffe. Her willingness to pay for the experience of shooting that giraffe made it possible for other giraffes to live in a safe environment and reproduce more giraffes in that safe environment.

Anyone who really cares about African wildlife should be thankful for Talley and others like her that are willing to plunk down big money to hunt giraffes.

The fact that these animal rights wackos made an effort to destroy Tess Talley's employment shows the evil force they have become. What they did to her shows their true stripes. If they were in power, Talley would have had her door broken down, pulled out of her bed in her underwear, taken outside in handcuffs and shot. Just like in Nazi Germany. Just like totalitarians have done throughout history. If we let them get into power, they won't be playing around.

Because she is beautiful, the Left has no mercy for her:

The people who mourn one dead giraffe are, for the most part, the same crowd celebrating and cheering the slaughter of millions of babies in the womb.

while it’s true big game hunting is needed- the real issue is that it’s legal, and if anti-hunters don’t like it- too stinkin bad- these anti-hunters don’t mind going to a restaurant, ordering chicken, steaks, fish, pork or whatever other animal meat they like

Just because an animal has novel features, or ‘cute’ big eyes and long eyelashes doesn’t make them any less legal to take for food- or even for trophy for that matter- the indigenous people who work the hunts with them almost always get a large portion of the nice tasty meat, and are very grateful for the yummy treat-

There are many big game animals that are perfectly legal to hunt- and if anti-hunters don’t like it- so what! God created aNimals for food- and work- period- The meat almost never goes to waste- not only the hunters in many cases, but the native people end up with it and are very grateful for it - Ted Nugent revealed that trophy hunters have been able to supply over 250 million meals from the game they have taken- something the lying hysterical left won’t tell people- because they don’t want people knowing the fact that even big game are food sources too!

And threatening and in some cases carrying out violence and violent acts against anyone that doesn’t agree with them

And celebrating euthanasia.

For me, personally as a deer hunter (rifle, stalker,) I would never kill a giraffe.
It would make me sick to kill a giraffe.
May be just me but -
I don’t root for people just because they’re wealthy enough to pay for kills.
Alas maybe I haven’t yet learned about our global overpopulations of giraffes.
Then again nor would I get all tingly over killing a rhino...
I guess that makes me a left-winger on this forum!
(Heck I supported Bush, too, and that’s a REAL sin here as of a year ago or so!)

You do not have to root for them.

It is sufficient that you tolerate them.

Many on the left would find you intolerable because you hunt deer with a rifle.

No, none of my acquaintances on the left find me intolerable because I hunt deer.
I am simply stating I cannot even imagine killing a giraffe.
It is absolutely unthinkable to me, as it probably is to you, and I suspect that much of the cheering that will happen on this thread for this creepy lady will be by keyboard Rambo types who do may not know what it really is like to take a life, much less the life of an animal whose global populations are falling at a breathtakingly spooky rate.
No, it isn’t about “left and “right...”
It’s about how utterly F’d up it is to kill a giraffe today.

If she was brown and used a bow and arrow or a poison dart she would be praised by the perpetually outraged.

Is it trophy hunting if you eat it? and use it?
