KENTUCKY, - A woman from Kentucky, United States, became a netizen's reproach after a picture of herself posing with her dead giraffe when hunting in South Africa was widely circulated.
Tess Thompson Talley (37) killed a rare black giraffe in her hunting activities last summer, exactly June 2017. "Prayers for a lifelong dream to be able to hunt granted on this day, "Talley said on her Facebook page, which has now been removed. "Seeing a rare black giraffe and following it for a while," she continued.
"I know he is a target, he is over 18 years old, weighing 1.8 tons, and I am fortunate to have 900 kg of meat," Talley wrote. To Fox News, she claimed to hunt giraffes because the population is increasing and some may be hunted as conservation efforts for the balance of nature.
Conservation is also paid with the majority of funds gained from large hunting. "This giraffe is not rare, but its age is very old, the giraffe becomes darker as we get older," she said. Hunting is a legal practice in a number of African countries, including South Africa, Namibia and Zimbabwe.
Talley says she's just hunting giraffes that are too old to breed. She also killed three bulls for the same reason. "This is called conservation through hunting management," she said.
Talley's action has come under fire from various communities, including art workers such as comedians and actor Ricky Gervais who is also an animal activist. "Giraffes are now on the red list of extinctions as the number has decreased 40 percent over the last 25 years,"
Animals such as buffalo, elephants, lions, and elephants are often the target of hunting. The industry of wild animal hunting can reach $ 2M per year. Talley was not the first US to be criticized for hunting. In 2015, a Minneapolis dentist became the target of public anger for killing a famous lion in Zimbabwe named Cecil.
