Last year, a photo of Kentucky woman Tess Thompson Talley pointing skyward as she posed with a large, black-coated giraffe she had shot in South Africa went viral and brought her a worldwide wave of media attention.
At her website, Talley says the spotlight made her “the most hated hunter in the world.”
Unrepentant, just yesterday Talley revealed a new photo of her giraffe friend as she’s had him preserved for her home, peacefully imbibing at a watering hole that looks so real you can practically drink from it.
Talley expressed her great admiration for the taxidermist’s art.
“Having the skill to take a hide some horns and hair and make it look alive is a skill that should be displayed for all to see.”
Yes, isn’t it nice to see animals as if they were alive. What a concept.
What the public didn’t understand, Talley explained, was the heroic service she had provided by eliminating the intimidating, violent herbivore who had been terrorizing the countryside.
In a statement to push back at the criticism, Talley revealed that the bull giraffe was “beyond breeding age, yet had killed 3 younger bulls… Now that the giraffe is gone, the younger bulls are able to breed.”
In other words, Talley eliminated the Don Corleone of long-necked leaf eaters, and finally ended its tyranny of the countryside.
A devout Christian, Talley will continue to look for gangster herbivores to cull in the name of her savior and for her deep commitment to conservation.
