Hunter claims to kill giraffes to "save" them

Tess Thompson Talley posted pictures of herself celebrating a kill. Lying behind her is a dead giraffe, a gentle giant who stood no chance against her high powered riffle.

I question her whole pattern of thinking. If for some reason killing some  older giraffes would strengthen the herd, why would she be celebrating it. She is excited about her kill and is now trying to justify it to cut down on the criticism.

The male might have been older, but he was probably one of the strongest members of the herd. If they want giraffe herds to be strong they should stop killing the predators who kill the weak members. Human hunters kill the strong so they weaken the herd.
