Trophy hunting - giraffes

Just when you thought our species couldn't stoop any lower, here's a depressing photo of a trophy hunter with a dead giraffe.

"What would you do if you had a million dollars? Maybe go on one of those fancy safaris with a rifle and a ready supply of exotic animals to terrorize and kill -- while snapping lots and lots of pictures?
Yeah, same as us. Yet there do seem to be a lot of idle and affluent hands in the world. And plenty of places to satisfy that slaughter-lust. This photo, for example, pretty much says it all. A woman, with a high-powered rifle, astride a dead giraffe, wears the winningest of grins. She did it. She's come a long way. She has triumphed over an unarmed, minding-its-own-business giraffe in what was likely a staged hunt." [Huffington Post] http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2014/03/24/woman-shoots-giraffe_n_5018520.html
