The pictures emerged after they were posted on Twitter by the South Africa-based AfricLand Post website. Accompanying the post, which shows two pictures of Tess Thompson Talley of Kentucky, were the words: White american savage who is partly a neanderthal comes to Africa and shoot down a very rare black giraffe courtesy of South Africa stupidity. Her name is Tess Thompson Talley. Please share.
American animal lovers also expressed horror.
Im sick with rage, said a Twitter user identified as Tom Kay. This waste of life #TessThompsonTalley is hunting beautiful creatures for a laugh.
Another tweeter, identified as Jessica Worley, urged people to "name and shame this grotesque excuse for a human being".

(31,261 posts)The species of giraffe that she killed in not rare, an expert confirmed that it's population is actually increasing. Having said that, she is a heartless beast, I honestly would not care if she contracted an illness and died as slowly and as painfully as possible.

Hillary was right, the deplorabes are the problem, and Maxine is right they need to be directly confronted on a daily basis... no justice, no peace.
