    We kill defenceless animals every day. Cows, sheep, chickens. At least she kills the thing herself instead of using proxies. I'm repulsed by the sport aspect, and she must find eating a giraffe hard work, but as omnivorous members of an apex predator species I think the non-vegetarian outraged on here should look in the mirror.

    I saw a documentary a few years ago where a reporter went undercover to a trophy hunting outfit in Africa that catered for rich US tourists, the animals were doped before some dumb Yank was driven in a land rover to shoot some poor lion drugged up to it's eyeballs! >:(

    I think she wanted a negative reaction to those images. If not, why upload them so that they could be seen worldwide?

    Pffft, we've had these threads before about women hunting game in Africa.
    Odd how it's Woman doing it that warrants a thread or an article somewhere, these things aren't anything new.

    I don't have a problem with it myself, the hunting and enjoying it bit.
    I wouldn't mind hunting wild hog or boar with arrow/crossbow myself.

    Funnily enough if I was lucky enough to see a beautiful wild animal in it's natural habitat my first instinct would not be to shoot a bloody big crossbow bolt straight through it.

    But that's just me.

    - she's the second woman to achieve the 'Gran Slam of North America' - killing all 4 species (of what? I wasn't sure) native to the continent using a bow and arrow - is this a thing and who invented it?
    "Yeeeee-haaaaah!"

    Actually only the middle one - at which we are utterly outstanding.

    I take it you can't find any other similar images on the internet then?
    Not that I've opened any links at all.
