Huntress Shoots Black Giraffe, Stands Her Ground amid Social Media Backlash
Huntress Tess Thompson Talley is standing her ground while facing backlash for shooting a black giraffe on a recent hunt in Africa.
Talley, who is from Kentucky, appeared in a post-hunt photo showing herself, her rifle, and the giraffe. The Sun reports that she captioned the photo, “Prayers for my once in a lifetime dream hunt came true today! Spotted this rare black giraffe bull and stalked him for quite a while. I knew it was the one.”
She added, “He was over 18 years old, 4,000 lbs and was blessed to be able to get 2,000 lbs of meat from him.”
The photos of the hunt were tweeted by Africa’s Digest:
Responses to the photos included one reader who wrote: “A very sad example of a person who lives for the thrill of the moment, and who has a dreadful sense of entitlement to kill for her own pleasure.”
Another person wrote: “I can’t imagine killing anything, let alone a defenseless animal who can’t shoot you back you…What a sad state of affairs when human beings can actually do this. Shame on everyone and anyone who defends this type of behavior.”
Actress Debra Messing denounced Talley as “disgusting, vile,” and “amoral” on Twitter:
Tess Thompson Talley from Nippa, Kentucky is a disgusting, vile, amoral, heartless, selfish murderer. With joy in her black heart and a beaming smile she lies next to the dead carcass of… instagram.com/p/BkgdxyfnWN1/…
But Talley stood her ground. She told Fox News that the giraffe was dark because of its age and explained that the number of such Giraffes is actually increasing because of hunting: “The giraffe I hunted was the South African sub-species of giraffe. The numbers of this sub-species is actually increasing due, in part, to hunters and conservation efforts paid for in large part by big game hunting. The breed is not rare in any way other than it was very old. Giraffes get darker with age.”
She added, “I get that hunting is not for everyone; that’s what makes this world great is the differences. But to make threats to anyone because they don’t believe the way you do is completely unacceptable. If it was any other belief that was different, threats and insults would be deemed hideous. However, for some reason it is OK to act this way because it’s hunting.”

A group of determined volunteers in Alabama
spent 30 hours successfully rescuing a seven-week-old deaf puppy from a 50-foot
hole Friday, according to video footage of the rescue.
The crew consisting of
firefighters, and plumbers banded together to rescue a white and grey-spotted
puppy named Toffee using different objects—including nets and food items—to
lift the pup out of a crevice too narrow for humans to enter.
The pup fell down a
narrow crevice behind a home in Huntsville late Thursday afternoon, and the
motley crew of workers spent tireless hours since then trying to save Toffee.
Local television stations in Huntsville live-streamed the effort on their Facebook page, and
social media users across the country watched with bated breath to see if
Toffee would make it out of the hole safely and offered their prayers.
The crews reached a
breakthrough on Friday at midnight—which occurs three hours and 50 minutes into
the live stream video—when the rescuers began lifting a pole out of the ground
with the pup not too far behind.
The crowd surrounding
the rescue team erupted in cheers when the canine came out of the crevice and
saw her foster mother, Karen Smith.
Social media also
erupted in cheers when the puppy was returned to her rightful owner.
