Has anyone else seen the pictures of this woman in today's papers? Do you think it is a wind-up? If she is to be believed, she takes great delight in shooting beautiful wild animals such as lions, zebras and such like and then posing beside the poor creatures' bodies with a big grin on her face. I am not a particular animal lover but I found this hideous.

Yes, I saw the pictures and I found it nauseous. I am not an animal person. We do not have pets or go soft over animals but I think this is obscene. Shooting something for the pot, even if its somebody else's pot is one thing, as is shooting vermin , but shooting a magnificent animal like this for the joy of killing? Contemptible!

I saw it both on line and in the paper and I was absolutely appalled! We are very fond of animals, cats, dogs horses all find a big welcome at our house! and to shoot this and other beautiful creatures yes even the croc! is nothing short of vile. Shooting for the pot and vermin is one thing, but this is just horrible. Dreadful woman!

One wonders at the mentality of these people that get pleasure from killing a living creature.
