Her boyfriend, Aaron Neilson, explained that while the hunts in which he and his girlfriend have participated are legal, he’s not sure he wants to see Cecil the lion’s killer, Walter Palmer, extradited to Zimbabwe to face poaching charges because foreign hunters are always at the mercy of their guides. Such a (sic) incredible animal!

Under the picture, the shameless hunter posted: “Day #2 I got a unbelievable old giraffe”.
Miss Corgatelli, who outside of hunting deals with grants and contracts at Idaho University, hunts with a powerful composite bow. She told Daly that she heard of the outrage over Cecil’s death a day after she killed the giraffe.
She was branded “deranged” and a “disgrace to humanity” as hundreds of people objected.
The Idaho accountant, who pays thousands of dollars at a time to hunt large, often endangered animals, gloated most recently about an Impala she killed, a Blue Wilderbeast, a Kudu and a Giraffe – all shot while she was in South Africa. My emotion after getting him was a feeling I will never forget!!!’.
Other pictures showed Miss Corgatelli, who has pink and black hair and long, manicured nails and wears heavy make-up, skin-tight khaki and pink hunting attire and hoop earrings, celebrating the kill with hands clasped together as though praying.
She also boats about targeting a kudu, an impala, a wildebeest and a warthog during her killing spree in the Kruger National Park, South Africa.
Corgatelli has been posting the photos despite an overwhelming amount of protests and disparaging comments on her Facebook page.
According to the Daily Mail, the huntress posted a message Friday morning that read, “All you haters, This is for you!!”
In these countries, populations have been increasing in recent years, though global giraffe numbers are plummeting.

Although the Hwange Park in Zimbabwe where Cecil was killed has suspended the hunting of lions, leopards and elephants since Saturday, giraffe are still on the legal kill list.
