Big-game trophy collector from Idaho;has ignited a firestorm of criticism from animal-rights activist. She flaunted online images of herself posed with the carcasses of a giraffe and other wildlife’ She killed these animals in a recent guided hunt in South Africa.”There is a connection to the animal, and just because we hunt them doesn’t mean we don’t have a respect for them. Giraffes are very dangerous animals. They could hurt you seriously, very quickly.” “Everybody thinks we’re cold-hearted killers and it’s not that,” Corgatelli said in the nationally televised interview https://www.facebook.com/pages/Celebrity-Entertainment-News/958122394248297?ref=hl
In an interview with the US TV show Today from South Africa, Corgatelli defended herself by saying that everything about her trip was legal.Her interviewer, Carson Daly, asked Corgatelli, who is listed as a senior accountant at Idaho State University, if she is concerned about suffering professional repercussions because of the pictures. “How can an employer chastise you for something you do on your personal time that’s legally done?” she answered. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Celebrity-Entertainment-News/958122394248297?ref=hl
On her Facebook page, the hunter also quoted a passage from the Bible’s Genesis in response to the criticism: “Now then, take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me.” Some have started expressing moral doubts about the internet’s mob justice following dentist Walter Palmer’s illegal killing of the lion Cecil. Internet users posted information about the hunter and his family, and his business.
Ashley Byrne, a spokesman for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, said Palmer and Corgatelli have put the spotlight on expensive, guided tours overseas in which foreign clients are guaranteed a kill by local outfitters.
