Hunter’s happy snap of leopard kill sparks outrage

A WOMAN has been slammed by celebrities and animal rights activists after a pro-hunting group shared a photo of her proudly showing off a leopard kill.

The verified image of the woman (right), only referred to as Britany L, was shared to USbased Safari Club International earlier this month and has since sparked outrage globally.

SCI is an Arizona-based organisation that protects hunters’ rights and promotes wildlife conservation.

Their website states their goal is to “encourage an appreciation for nature and wild- life so that conservation efforts remain strong, while also fighting to protect our rich hunting heritage”.

In a blog post about the leopard kill the SCI said the male cat was likely the ninth largest leopard ever hunted.

The outrage was first sparked by South African artist Sue Dickinson, who called Britany L a “cretin” in a Facebook post on September 10.

It has since attracted 42,000 comments and 217,000 shares.

On Friday, it was shared by anti-ivory poaching group Knot On My Planet founder David Bonnouvrier, who asked his followers to “find this b **** ” and call the SCI and “give them a piece of your mind”.

The post was noticed by celebrities like Naomi Campbell and Dutch supermodel Doutzen Kroes who voiced their disapproval.
