When everyone gets all emotional about the death of 1 girraffe when hundreds of other animals and people die every day in much cruler ways... I guess that's it them.

Sport hunting is as cowardly an endeavor as any thing humans do.

All I know is that I could train a squirrel to shoot a stationary giraffe or elephant. I don't see the excitement. I'm not against hunting in general, just not mega-fauna. I think the girl in the pic has daddy issues.

What a bitch.

A guy once showed me a pic of a large buck he shot, I shrugged my shoulders and said whatever. He asked if I was one of those PETA people. I said no. He got defensive and asked what my problem was. I told him I was not impressed that he shot a deer, if he wanted to impress me then chase one down on foot and kill it with your bare hands. Any idiot can shoot a deer from 2-3 hundred yards, drop out of a tree and kill one with a knife. Then I'll be impressed.

Those farms should be shut the fuck down..

I just don't get it. Makes me so angry and sad.

I saw this pic on some other media site (maybe Twitter) and it pissed me off so bad that i made a comment that maybe karma would get this girl in the form of teeth and claws next. I was attacked by a some readers, basically it was; "what a horrible person you are for wishing harm to come to this little girl", I had a back and forth argument with one of them for a while. IMO, trophy hunters suck no matter what they're hunting(or fishing), or their age.

An evil A__hole at such a young age.

Pretty wretched human being. Giraffes aren't exactly clever and fierce game.

Yes! What on earth can be great about KILLING this beautiful animal! If all life can be reduced down to a celebration of killing it...we are all in grave danger! Don't we see some of this played out in our current human social order?

Yeah, this is sick. This person has no respect for life. To them it is just a toy to be broken than discarded for amusement. Now thanks to these people we have a few less vital members of an endangered species on the planet.

That is just dispicible. I come from a hunting family. They hunted for deer, which were overpopulated in our area and there are regulations regarding what you can hunt (doe or buck). If the population isn't kept in check, they can starve to death slowly over time. We also ate the venison and didn't just kill them because yay guns. Why kill something that's endangered?

Perhaps she should read The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell

It is a waste. I suppose it is all about "ego." You can tell your friends you shot a giraffe and supposedly impress them I am disgusted by this useless killing.

I hate the trophy hunters! That why I was happy a while back when a lion ate a lion poacher. What rotten fucking people.

Hunting for survival is one thing. Hunting for pleasure and creating waste is another.

Not only are giraffes not endangered, prior to 2016 (we don't know when the photo was taken) they were classified as "Least Concern".

I really hate the utter disregard for nature some people have just for the sake of their own "fun". This is not something you should be proud of or have any reason to do, you're just a prick at this point if you indulge in such activities.

That woman needs to have happen to her exactly what she's done to that giraffe.
People like her make me want to become violent toward them.
