In addition to the fury against trophy hunting following the death of Zimbabwe's famous lion, Cecil, a female hunter is being fired on social media for posting photos of her kills, CNN reports
Amid the outrage on the widely-talked about hunt of American dentist, Walter J. Palmer, another animal killer, Sabrina Corgatelli is being blasted for showing off photos of a dead giraffe, warthog, and other wild species.
In her recent trip to South Africa, Corgatelli, who's listed a wildebeest, a zebra, a kudu, an impala, and a lion among her trophies, posted a photo of herself - beside a dead giraffe after a successful hunt.
Nothing like finding a OLD beautiful bull. #racksandridges #huntlikeagirl #Africa

"Day #2 I got a amazing old Giraffe. Such a amazing animal!! I couldn't be any happier!! My emotion after getting him was a feeling I will never forget!!!" Corgatelli posted on Facebook.
She posted another photo of her kill, a warthog, triggering backlash from more concerned citizens. "13 inch wart hog!! What a fun hunt!!! Loving it here!! The guys at old days safari in South Africa have got me on another amazing animal."

After receiving numerous death and rape threats aside from heated arguments online among haters and supporters, Corgatelli, whose Instagram name is @italianhuntress defended herself at NBC's 'Today' show in an interview from South Africa saying everything is legally done. "So how can you fault somebody because of their hobbies?" she added.
"When you hunt an animal, there is ... everybody just thinks we're cold-hearted killers, and it's not that," she explained. "There is a connection with the animal and just because we hunt them doesn't mean we don't have a respect for them."
"But giraffes are very dangerous animals. They could hurt you seriously, very quickly."
Standing firm on her belief, Corgatelli even used a bible verse just to get away with all the bashing.
"Genesis 9:3 says, "Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And as I gave you the green plants, I give you..." Corgatelli posted.
