Photos of an American hunter posing with the dead body of a "rare" black giraffe she is reported to have just killed during a hunt in South Africa have sparked outrage.

The pictures emerged after they were posted on Twitter by the South Africa-based AfricLand Post website.

Accompanying the post, which shows two pictures of Tess Thompson Talley of Kentucky, were the words: "White American savage who is partly a neanderthal comes to Africa and shoot down a very rare black giraffe courtesy of South Africa stupidity. Her name is Tess Thompson Talley. Please share".

However, comedian, actor and animal activist Ricky Gervais, tweeted that "Giraffes are now on the 'red list' of endangerment due to a 40 per cent decline over the last 25 years. They could become extinct. Gone forever." He criticised Talley, calling her spoiled, and anyone else hunting giraffes.

Actress Debra Messing also did not hold back. "Tess Thompson Talley from Nippa, Kentucky is a disgusting, vile, amoral, heartless, selfish murderer," she raged.
