American woman posing with dead 'rare' giraffe she shot in South Africa sparks outrage

The pictures emerged after they were posted on Twitter by the South Africa-based AfricLand Post website. Accompanying the post, which shows two pictures of Tess Thompson Talley of Kentucky, were the words: “White american savage who is partly a neanderthal comes to Africa and shoot down a very rare black giraffe courtesy of South Africa stupidity. Her name is Tess Thompson Talley. Please share”. 

American animal lovers also expressed horror.

“I’m sick with rage,” said a Twitter user identified as Tom Kay. “This waste of life #TessThompsonTalley is hunting beautiful creatures for a laugh.”

Another tweeter, identified as Jessica Worley, urged people to "name and shame this grotesque excuse for a human being".

The species of giraffe that she killed in not rare, an expert confirmed that it's population is actually increasing. Having said that, she is a heartless beast, I honestly would not care if she contracted an illness and died as slowly and as painfully as possible.

Because the giraffe population has declined by nearly 40 per cent in just 30 years, scientists put it on the official watch list of threatened and endangered species worldwide, calling it "vulnerable." That's two steps up the danger ladder from its previous designation of being a species of least concern.

In 1985, there were between 151,000 and 163,000 giraffes, but in 2015 the number was down to 97,562, according to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

infependent. His work is to protect giraffes. BTW, the expert felt that even thought that particular species was growing in number, her killing one was bad.

it's why they need to kill beautiful creatures, lock kids in cages...

they cower behind the Orange fascist who does their bidding

Hillary was right, the deplorabes are the problem, and Maxine is right they need to be directly confronted on a daily basis... no justice, no peace.
