Idaho huntress Sabrina Corgatelli defiant despite social media backlash
Boise
Far from cowering, keen Idaho hunter Sabrina Corgatelli has been flaunting her kills, posting verses from the Bible apparently to justify her hunting ways.
Despite a firestorm of comments on her Facebook and Instagram pages, Corgatelli has continued to post images from her legal hunting trip to South Africa online
Her defiance flies in the face of the tide of Internet-fueled outrage sparked by the killing last month of Cecil the lion in Zimbabwe by an American dentist accused of taking part in an illegal hunt.
Corgatelli's listed trophy kills include a giraffe, an impala, a kudu - which she describes as the "#1 want on my list" - a wildebeest and a warthog.
Alongside a picture of a slain giraffe, its neck posed encircling her legs, she writes: "Day #2 I got a amazing old Giraffe. Such a amazing animal!! I couldn't be any happier!! My emotion after getting him was a feeling I will never forget!!!"
Meanwhile, the posts have prompted thousands of critical and abusive comments, including rape and death threats, and heated exchanges with Corgatelli's defenders.
