An American hunter is facing widespread backlash after posing with the body of a rare black giraffe she killed during a trip in South Africa.

South Africa-based AfricLand Post first posted the photos on social media, calling the woman a “white American savage” for hunting down a giraffe on the continent. The woman is Kentucky resident Tess Thompson Talley, according to USA Today.

I hardly think killing another living being for that is reason enough.

    Someone should inform her she’s done nothing to brag about.

      • Every time the lion or the elephant wins or a fool falls out of a deer stand, we should say the same thing: Oh, well. He’s getting old anyway.

  5. Brilliant post by Trovato. I thought he was being sarcastic about the cookies, but alas not. These vicious psychopaths need to be eliminated by any means necessary. Some people are born with a penchant for evil and these 2 are the personification pure ugly savagery.

  6. It’s hard to think of words that are strong enough. First she kills. Then she brags about it. And finally she mocks and diminishes the death with a batch of commemorative
    cookies. Ugly!
