"Good Morning Britain co-host Piers Morgan grilled 12-year-old trophy hunter Aryanna Gourdin Monday morning, comparing her killing of a giraffe to slaying her pet cat.
Gourdin, a Utah native, became the subject of heated controversy when she posted photos last week to her Facebook account of a giraffe, wildebeest and zebra she killed on an African safari.
How would you feel if I came to your house one day, and I hunted down your pet cat, and I killed it and I then posted pictures of me celebrating the slaughter of your pet cat? Morgan proudly asked the young girl. The pre-teen trophy hunter clearly agitated by the question struggled to find an answer, so her father stepped in, telling Morgan he was asking a trick question because the giraffe was not his pet.

really don’t see any reason to kill animals for pics etc..man is humgry, God ok’s it until we are back in Eden, but waste and living for vanity is destructive, there are other ways to gain confidence in life and experience world travel..
No. Not the kind she hunted. And yes, most types of giraffes are not only plentiful but are a nuisance animal.
There are a few African Animals that are endangered but the vast majority are not.
No. Sorry. First there is limited space in the parks. The animals have to be culled. That means shot. Including giraffes.
Second - they only have the money to run the parks because of the big money the hunts bring in.
Third - the meat is distributed locally.
So put on your big girl panties and grow up. Everything eats everything else. It’s the reality of the planet we live on.
You are free to do your part.
Remember it is "Down the road" not "Across the Street".
Wrong.
The giraffe was give to a local village who ate it.
Quite a few. Or what do you think the village does for food after the giraffe herd decides to stop at their orchard for lunch. Run down to the Quick-ee Mart? And if you try to chase them out they will kick you to death.
If I see a lion and it goes `burp, then it isnt a threat.
Dumb. Really dumb. A lion does not kill just for food, it kills because that is what a lion does.
There are nine subspecies of giraffe. A couple of them are endangered and those won’t be hunted. In general, the giraffe is classified as least concern by conservationists.
The biggest problem they face, as with nearly any species in the world, is land use.
I think it’s pretty stupid to imply a threat against someone who is capable of taking out a moving animal at 500 yards with a rifle.
Especially someone who is clearly in possession of all their faculties... That might feel the need to defend themselves or their family or their property with extreme prejudice.
Morgan is an idiot!
I’m in a wheelchair and would only need two minutes to deal with the sniveling leftist degenerate.
Do you like cats?
They enjoy torturing animals much more than humans do.
Your history is incorrect.
Cody shot buffalo as a commercial hunter to feed the crews building the railroad.
He was an exceptional hunter, rider, and shooter.
A great many of the buffalo that he killed were hunted from horseback and shot at close range in wild and dangerous riding.
Kill for food or to defend yourself and your lifestock if you must. This picture is repellent to me.
You base my entire historical knowledge of Bill Cody on two sentences?
hate cats
never had one, nor care to
.
Enough of this Pee-ers moron.
Send him home!
.
.
You and Obama and Hillary appear to be of one mind.
.
Your sentences were incorrect.
He shot buffalo primarily for food.
He shot them as a commercial hunter.
Most of the buffalo he shot were not simply left to rot.
Kill for food or to defend yourself and your lifestock if you must. This picture is repellent to me

It is like she is saying, “Daddy look what I killed! Are you proud of me Daddy?”
Hunters for food? Yes
Hunters for the “sport”? FU
I would love to see Sport Hunters go one on one with NO weapons. Then if they are successful, maybe we can talk...
Does that include the ones he shot from trains?
Read my tagline genius.
