Huntress taunts outraged Internet with 'big game trophy hunting pics..


Sabrina Corgatelli, a university accountant from Boise, Idaho, has gleefully posted images of herself on big game hunts comparable to that taken by Walter Palmer onto social media in the midst of the controversy.In one image she poses over a downed giraffe, accompanied with the caption: '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!!!'

And despite a stream of obscene and disparaging comments accusing her of animal abuse and heartlessness, the huntress has vowed to continue sharing the images regardless of what her 'haters' think.Corgatelli, who poses in pink hunting gear and hunts with a powerful composite bow and manicured nails, appears to be keeping the world updated on an ongoing trip to the Kruger National Park in South Africa.

The hunting enthusiast, who has a public Facebook page documenting her exploits, has shared images of her quarry standing over quarry, seemingly plucked from the extensive game reserves in the east of the country. She has even posed over the corpse of a lion, apparently slain by her boyfriend.Outside of hunting, she is a senior accountant for Idaho State University, where she deals with grants and contracts. She has worked there for eight months according to her LinkedIn page.Her prey includes a huge giraffe, a kudu, an impala, a wildebeest and a warthog - with seemingly more to come.Hundreds of people have protested her actions on the page - calling her 'deranged' and 'a disgrace to humanity', as well as vitriol too obscene to reproduce.

But Corgatelli, who faced objections even before Cecil's death caused international outcry, is unmoved by their complaints.Posting early Friday morning, she said: All you haters, This is for you!! Have a great day, cuz I know I will!!'It was accompanied by an image of a smiling Leonardo DiCaprio in his role as the Great Gatsby, captioned: 'To all the haters - stay tuned, you're gonna have so much more to be p***ed about.'According to her periodic updates, Corgatelli's hunt began on July 24, when she boasted of killing a kudu, an type of African antelope.

Why would you be sad? I hope she does lose her job at Idaho State. She is a disgrace to higher education. She is taunting animal lovers and shoving the photos of her "kills" onto the internet. She is asking for negative attention, and I hope she gets it. It wouldn't come close to comparing the suffering she has caused these animals, just to please her ego and twisted personality.

And yep, although I don't hope she gets much else that she wants, I hope she does get negative attention from this.

If her family was dependent upon her income, she wouldn't be such a bellicose, in-your-face asshole about her safari exploits.

She either quits because too many people hate her at the university, or the firestorm of negative attention affects her work environment, thus forcing her supervisor to let her go. She was pretty dumb by doing all this, if she wanted to keep her job.

Oh yeah, she and her boyfriend both suck.

The airline ticket alone is several thousands of dollars to go to Africa. I pointed out that if she has access to money in her job taht they need to audit her job ASAP. In addition, they need to do a criminal background check to look for any financial related crimes. In my job I have to undergo a criminal background check every year because I have a financial related job.

I'm exposed to animal killing all the time. There's tons of hunters around here who tell their killin' stories to me in the work crummy. Additionally, they pepper me with "jokes," and comments about our President, catcall girls from the truck and tons of other stuff I cannot and will not mention.

Its my own little hell, my own private Idaho. I'd have to go to the College to find people with similar viewpoints as mine.

5. This woman has a real problem. That giraffe looks so sad in death

A death that shouldn't have come to him. I have never understood the motivation of trophy hunters. Those who hunt for food and clothing that are living on the edge is one thing but these people that want to kill for the sake of killing are close to being sociopaths if they are not.

A point about the article. I suppose the author wants to make a stronger connection to the Palmer idiot with mentioning a "composite bow". The picture of Corgatelli is with a compound bow not a composite and further it looks like all the animals were killed with high powered rifles not arrows.

I bring this up because it is the kind of thing that will be picked up by her supporters as how ignorant the story is. They will dismissed the rest of it because of the one error. I've seen this in referring to AK-47S as an automatic weapon when it is not, unless modified, it is a semi-automatic rifle.

What's her next target, a Holstein cow? It's just as fierce as the giraffe and would look great in a room with a black and white motif.

I've gone fishing and hunting for food, with some relatives who live in the boonies and actually depend on that meat to get by. But there's nothing thrilling about killing another creature. Anyone who gets a rush from it has a screw loose, imho.

Someone ought to hunt her with a camera while she's hunting if you have the stomach for it. The wildlife murderer type of hunters like Sarah Palin don't follow the rules that serious hunters for food and conservation do and one could do a lot of Instagram damage to this person if she isn't following the rules. I used to live in Idaho in the wilderness part and I know what real hunters think of trophy hunters and amateurs.

her very expensive habit and does she have access to money in conjunction of her job? I pointed out that if she has access to funds they might want to immediately order an audit of her job.
