This sounds like good wildlife management. Nothing more.
It takes a lot of skill to take a shot at hit a 4000 pound docile animal that is standing still.
I have also hunted, nothing larger than small game, and in some cases I have eaten what I have hunted. Dove, squirrel, rabbit.
But any animal greater than a deer, my imaginary line, I suppose, I am neither interested in or respectful of killing when it does not need or require killing for a specific reason.
I understand that culling is sometimes required, and I’m okay with that, but I am not okay with trophy hunting. I would rather the animal spirit remain in its vessel.
Good Management and

Now She will be attacked
By low IQ idiots!
Unless it’s trying to kill me or I’m starving, I have no personal desire to kill any animal. It’s a personal thing.
You hit the nail on top of the head. These idiots are too ignorant too realize that if it wasn’t for the foreign hunter, the game animals would go the way they have in Kenya. On top of that, the only protein the locals get is when the hunter kills a large animal and donates the meat to the village.

After this kind of attention... I think that it is safe to say that there are not going to be a lot of other people spending their money on this type of vacation. Say goodbye to some desperately needed tourist cash.
Read the excerpt people. This kill will increase the herd of giraffe...
“She points out that the giraffe she killed was 18, too old to breed, and had killed three younger bulls who were able to breed, causing the herd’s population to decrease.”
“Now, with the older giraffe dead, the younger bulls are able to continue to breed and can increase the population.”
Then it would seem to make sense to donate a few rifles to those in the villages who are apparently protein deficient.
Hey 'people', WTF are you talking about? I did read it. Try reading my post prior to involuntarily burping up ignorant comments.
I think the three younger male giraffe bulls might take issue with the "docile" label - if they weren't dead...
I don’t care to do this but more power to her if she does. It just gets to me that the people wailing over an animal are the same people who are happy about killing babies in the womb.
"burping up ignorant comments"
I Agree
I’ve noted that.
Because they love animals, they increase the herds health by very costly hunting trips.
Let me guess you have never actually accomplished supporting game conservation efforts... to each his ownm
