United States.- Images of an American huntress proudly exhibited beside a dead black giraffe in South Africa, unleashed a wave of Indignation in social networks.

"The wild American white, which is partly a Neanderthal, comes to Africa and fires a very rare black giraffe," says a tweet published by Africa Digest, according to the portal Univision.

The controversial images, which were published a year ago by this Kentucky woman whom the medium identifies as Tess Thompson Talley, is shown standing next to the animal with this comment: "My prayers for a hunt to dreams came true today! I saw this rare specimen of giraffe and I harassed it for a while, I knew that it was unique, it had more than 18 years, 4 thousand pounds and he was lucky enough to give 2 thousand pounds of meat.

In an e-mail to Fox News, which echoed to the indignation caused by the images, Talley justifies his hunt by pointing out that there is a subspecies of South African giraffe whose population, "partly increases due to Hunters and conservation efforts paid largely by major hunting events.The race is not uncommon, except that it was very old.The giraffes darken with the hurricane. age. "

Talley explained that the giraffe that he killed was 18, was too old to breed, and had killed three other juveniles who could breed, causing the population of the reserve will decrease. "Now, with the oldest dead giraffe, the youngest are able to continue raising and can increase the population," he said.

"This is called conservation by game management" adds Talley, who insists that it was not a "canned hunt" for s & # 39; ; fun.

Julian Fennessy, co-founder of the Giraffe Conservation Foundation, presented similar arguments. the legal hunt for the giraffe is not a reason for its decline, despite the moral and ethical part of it, which is a different story. "

But beyond the justifications, images elicited rejection comments like actress Debra Messing who described the hunter as" a disgusting murderer, vile, amoral, heartless, selfish "

The issue has been viralized in social media under the hashtag #TessThompsonTalley On Twitter, a user identified as David Balk writes: "You must be so proud of yourself. Death defying fear caught you as you shot at one of the most benign and peaceful creatures on our planet. You are a disgusting reflection of humanity and an embarrassment to me as an American citizen. "
