America
US huntress's selfie creates social media furore
London, Aug 4
Even before the uproar over the
killing of an iconic black-maned lion named Cecil in Zimbabwe died down,
a huntress from the US sparked fury on social media by posting a series
of photos with her kills.
Sabrina Corgatelli uploaded pictures
on her Facebook page with the corpses of a giraffe, warthog, kudu and
impala -- her kills during a trip to South Africa.
Before her
trip, she posted a message: "To all the haters. Stay tuned, you're gonna
have so much more to be p***** off about," the Telegraph reported on
Monday.
In one photo, she was seen crouching over a massive kudu,
an African antelope specie with a white-striped body and spiralling
horns.
"Yesterday, day 1 an amazing day!!! Got my beautiful
beautiful Kudu!! It was my #1 want on my list and I got him on the first
day!!! Loving it there!!" she said.
Later the same day, she
posted several of her pictures with the corpse of "an amazing old
giraffe", and wrote: "Such an amazing animal!! I couldn't be any
happier!! My emotion after getting him was a feeling I will never
forget!!!"
Other pictures showed Corgatelli with a large, dead warthog, a blue wildebeest and an impala.
Thousands
of people posted on Corgatelli's profile branding her as "deranged",
"heartless" and "the definition of disgusting", the report said.
Corgatelli,
an accountant who also runs a clothing company called Racks and Ridges,
also posted a photograph of her boyfriend with the body of a 13-foot
crocodile.
