Stupid American hunter defends killing giraffe: They are 'very dangerous animals'

[editor]

Look at this fucking moron.

An American hunter who shot and killed a range of animals in South Africa's Kruger National Park last week and then shared her "kill shots" on Facebook, sparking a wave of criticism while the world was still recovering over the loss of Cecil the Lion, says she's not a "cold-hearted killer."

"Everybody just thinks we're cold-hearted killers, and it's not that," the woman, Sabrina Corgatelli, told Carson Daly on the Today Show. "There is a connection with the animal, and just because we hunt them doesn't mean we don't have a respect for them."

Of the giraffe, she added: "Giraffes are very dangerous animals. They could hurt you seriously very quickly."

Things are quite lively on her facebook page:

She takes an unhealthy pleasure bragging about the defenceless animals she's slaughtered:

What is fuck wrong with these people

Yes, I have seen her images online, sickening really, what brings people to say "such an amazing animal" and then to kill them! Beyond reasonable belief..

Shoot them with a camera!

Giraffes? Dangerous? Give me a fucking break!

What a tool that woman is.

Shameless (beginner!) photo pride/narcissim masquerading as a "lets show them how to shoot animals" motif!

Trophy & Canned Hunting must be banned and sooner rather than later.

There must be something wrong with their heads, I'll not say brain 'cos that could imply they have some intelligence.

No (printable) words to describe how much I detest this activity.

and Ted Striker - wonderful images !!
those are the best sort of shots at wildlife ...

 

[weltweit]

Of the highest order!

Not sure why the fact that she's American is worth mentioning though.

Cheers Some in the Kruger National Park, and some on a neighbouring game reserve. It's simply unbelievable that anyone that spends any time amongst such natural beauty and would want to take a killing weapon

Inexcusable. As are the facebook comments about kicking her in the cunt.

i prefer the auld manchester way, lock these so called hunters in a room with a couple of dogs for a few days and see what walks out.

If you start shooting at them, they are liable to get rather cross.

 

[Spymaster]

Because they're dangerous apparently.

If, as she says, it's legal, then I have to say that, unless it directly comes into conflict with a part of her job, it's none of their business.

I'm pretty sure there's very few giraffe in Idaho. If she feels that intimidated she could just go home. Then it would just be wolves or some other animal, I suppose.

yeh. but the thing is now the personal is so often professional.

I'm pretty sure there's very few giraffe in Idaho if she feels that intimidated she could just go home.

what she could do is set up her rifle on the tripod, sort out some sort of distance trigger and spatter her brains over her garage wall. might not bring the giraffe back but it would be the best use she could make of the gun.

The US has an "at will" employment model. You can be hired or fired based on any criteria whatsoever, except for things prohibited by law like race, gender, or religion.

 

[StoneRoad]

Not sure if it applies in the states, but some companies / professions can have a broad interpretation of "bringing company/profession into disrepute"
ie behaving like a prize dick which then reflects badly on company / profession.

So, hopefully, her employer will take a dim view of trophy hunting and take some action.

I cannot agree.

I agree that she's a prize nob. But I don't want that kind of arbitrary power to be exercised over employees by their employers.

Hmmm. We have a government pushing for the same model here. Tyranny of the boss. It's a strange kind of freedom.

Once they get that through, I'm sure that the freedom that is the "right to work" legislation (aka "the right to work for less) will be next.

What a tool that woman is.

I'm sure they're pretty dangerous, they're massive. Get a kick from one and you won't be walking away unscathed. That would encourage me to respect them from a distance rather than shoot them though.

tbh you have it here too, i think gross misconduct can cover bringing your employer into disrepute. cesare would know.

I think they're supposed to be very bad tempered. That could be hippos though.
