Until there are no Giraffes left. Then when the numbers are down, they will have to be protected to get the population numbers back up, which then leads to poaching, like the Elephants and Rhinos for their tusks.

My husband and son are hunters; deer, ducks, geese. They eat what they kill. Neither are into killing for just the sport of killing a wild animal.

I doubt she is doing this because she feels bad for their poverty and wants to help them; sounds to me more like she is on an ego trip, the thrill of a kill.

Some very great men (and women) throughout the ages thoroughly enjoyed the “thrill of the kill”. Alexander the Great, King Richard the Lionheart, George Washington, TR, Churchill, to name a few

One does not hunt in order to kill; on the contrary, one kills in order to have hunted...

If one were to present the sportsman with the death of the animal as a gift he would refuse it. What he is after is having to win it, to conquer the surly brute through his own effort and skill with all the extras that this carries with it: the immersion in the countryside, the healthfulness of the exercise, the distraction from his job.
Jose Ortega y Gasset, Meditations on Hunting
Spanish philosopher & politician (1883 - 1955
