British TV host Piers Morgan is known for throwing his interview questions high and inside, and did so again Monday with the target being a 12-year-old girl who has received death threats.

Appearing alongside her dad, Aryanna showed off pictures of herself with her biggest kills, including a giraffe and a zebra.
Piers looked horrified at both the young girl’s comments and the attitude of her father who supported every word she was saying and in a bid to make her understand why she was receiving furious reactions from the public, he turned the tables on her and asked how she would feel if someone killed her pet cat.
Morgan asked the girl what she would think if he killed her cat and posted photos similar to the ones she had taken on social media for all to see.
A schoolgirl pictured holding up a shotgun and proudly posing next to a dead giraffe – and she calls it a hobby.
Another wrote: ‘That 12 year old trophy hunter needs to be locked up before she kills a human…
Another added that her father should be blamed for encouraging her.
One said: ‘Aryanna Gourdin and her parents are disgusting people!
Aryanna added: “I’m not allowed to have pets because I hunt?…”
Aryanna’s father then revealed that he and his daughter always feel “hunters’ remorse” after snuffing out a life, which appeared to anger Piers further who went on a tirade that the exact opposite appeared to be the case. “It’s something that thousands of people do and it’s never going to stop”. I just try to not let them get to me, ‘ she said.
He confronted the pair and asked what would they think if he hunted down and killed their pet cat. “The giraffe she hunted was nowhere near extinction”, Eli emphasised, besides stating that the meat killed during their hunt was also to feed orphans. “It won’t stop me hunting”.
The father and daughter have been going on hunts together since Aryanna was aged seven.
Of course, it’s not certain how many of those spitting venom and throwing shade in Aryanna’s direction are meat eaters, because if you think big game hunting is cruel, try visiting an abattoir folks.

‘It’s something I cherish and enjoy and I want other people to see what I experienced, ‘ she said. In separate interviews, Gordon has said they will never apologise for being hunters.
