For decades, animal rights activists have worked tirelessly to stop the practice of trophy hunting in which thousands of animals are killed each year by people who often pay to hunt exotic wildlife for sport. However, despite their best efforts, this disgusting practice is still legal in many parts of the world. In South Africa, for example, and a lot of countries where this form of “entertainment” is still legal, it hosts people who pay thousands of dollars to kill large exotic animals. In 2018, a woman from Kentucky posted two pictures showing her posing in front of the body of a black giraffe she just murdered.

In one of the photos, she’s seen pointing up at the sky, a common gesture made by those giving praise to God. Amazingly, she was surprised by the sheer avalanche of backlash she received after sharing her sadistic photos with the world. The woman was later identified as Tess Thompson Talley, and the post included a caption that read:

“Prayers for my once in a lifetime dream hunt came true today!

“Spotted this rare black giraffe bull and stalked him for quite a while. I knew it was the one. He was over 18 years old, 4000 lbs. and was blessed to be able to get 2000 lbs. of meat from him.”

Talley, also posts photos of herself posing with other innocent wildlife she brutally murdered.

The Guardian reports that about 1.7 million animal “trophies” were exported across borders by hunters over the last ten years.

And at least 200,000 of them comprised of endangered species. This form of hunting is still allowed in South Africa, along with Zambia, Namibia, and Zimbabwe.

After a local media group based in South Africa shared her post with their own description, it quickly went viral.

“White American savage who is partly a Neanderthal comes to Africa and shoot down a very rare black giraffe courtesy of South Africa stupidity,” read the June 2018 tweet, posted by Africa Digest.

“Her name is Tess Thompson Talley. Please share.”

The tweet has since brought about enraged backlash from activists, animal lovers, and celebrities such as Debra Messing, star of “Will and Grace, as well as comedian Ricky Gervais, who tweeted:

 “Giraffes are now on the ‘red list’ of endangerment due to a 40% decline over the last 25 years. They could become extinct. Gone forever.”

What are your thoughts on trophy hunting? Is it something the United Nations should consider banning worldwide?
