This is one of the photos that have people up in arms. (Photo: Tess Thompson Talley<\/em>)<\/p><\/div>\n

Though the hunt took place last year, photos of a Kentucky woman posing with a slain “black” giraffe are causing people to lose their minds on social media.<\/p>\n

What brought the matter to light is when the AfricaDigest posted the pics to Twitter last month with the following caption:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhite american savage who is partly a neanderthal comes to Africa and shoot down a very rare black giraffe coutrsey [sic] of South Africa stupidity. Her name is Tess Thompson Talley. Please share\u201d<\/p>\n

Tess Thompson Talley, the embattled hunter, has defended what was presumably a lawful and ethical hunt.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrayers for my once in a lifetime dream hunt came true today!\u201d she said in a Facebook post when she originally posted the pics. \u201cSpotted this rare black giraffe bull and stalked him for quite awhile. I knew it was the one. He was over 18 years old, 4,000 lbs and was blessed to be able to get 2,000 lbs of meat from him.”<\/p>\n

Talley has since deleted her Facebook post. But she did talk to Fox News<\/a> about the experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe giraffe I hunted was the South African sub-species of giraffe. The numbers of this sub-species is actually increasing due, in part, to hunters and conservation efforts paid for in large part by big game hunting. The breed is not rare in any way other than it was very old. Giraffes get darker with age,\u201d said Talley.<\/p>\n

Talley also explained that the 18-year-old bull she killed was too old to breed and was a threat to younger bulls. She was told that it had already killed three younger, virile bulls that were capable of producing offspring.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is called conservation through game management,\u201d said Talley, noting that it wasn\u2019t a \u201ccanned hunt.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the facts, several Hollywood elites are attacking Talley.<\/p>\n

Tess Thompson Talley from Nippa, Kentucky is a disgusting, vile, amoral, heartless, selfish murderer. With joy in her black heart and a beaming smile she lies next to the dead carcass of\u2026 https:\/\/t.co\/gG9CWX4oXl<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Debra Messing (@DebraMessing) June 27, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Comedian Ricky Gervais tweeted, \u201cGiraffes are now on the ‘red list’ of endangerment due to a 40% decline over the last 25 years. They could become extinct. Gone forever.\u201d He also called Talley, \u201cspoiled.\u201d<\/p>\n

What Gervais doesn\u2019t realize or chooses to ignore is that it\u2019s not hunters who are responsible for the decline in the giraffe population. It\u2019s the agricultural development of Africa over the past two decades that has caused them to become endangered. Turns out that big animals eat a lot of food and when fledgling farmers have to choose between their crops and long-legged eating machines, the answer is easy. It\u2019s their crops, their livelihood, every time!\u00a0 Which means our furry friends are displaced or exterminated.<\/p>\n

Without hunters and the millions of dollars generated from big game hunting, these animals would surely go extinct. If Gervais and Messing actually cared about conservation, they wouldn’t be publicly shunning Talley, they’d be praising her.\u00a0 Because spiteful words and misguided outrage on social media aren’t going to save these animals.\u00a0 Only smart and responsible game management will.<\/p>\n
