From some people and not others. Just depends on her target audience for the posted pictures originally. If she was posting them in an attempt to rile up people then she's being a troll. If not, then the people stalking her profile are the ones being the trolls in an attempt to smear her and what she does.
Many people I know people many such hunting trip photos where I live. I'm pretty sure if some of the anti gun/hunting idiots saw the facebook pics of myself or many I know around here they would be "up in arms" and I use that cliche as a pun, over the pictures. But I don't go out of my way to present those pictures for those people to view that would have a negative reaction to them.
Just another "Look at me, look at me! I'm something special!" media attention freak who wants her own reality TV show. And since they now have a curved HDTV, it might slim her fat face down and trim a few inches of width off between her protruding crazy eyes that say "I am going to stalk and kill you in your sleep if you don't marry me. But I really LOVE you!"
And she is just rubbing most of our noses in the fact she can afford to go screwing around in Africa and we can't. Well, at least a lot of us wouldn't want to go to Africa in the first place. In fact, going to Africa would probably be at the bottom of my list of things to do, right after visiting Detroit for an urban safari. Which is an even better place to practice survival skills now than Africa is.

At least the native American Indians showed respect for the spirits of their kills. While hunters traditionally do so for food, she does it for spoiled sport.
Who? Answered in the article: the locals.I have no problem with hunting in general but hunting elephants and lions? Who the fuck eats elephant or lion? I rank this up there with hunting whales as far as despicable acts go.

I don't care. I still think this is despicable.
Despicable that Africans kill and utilize native animals (including elephants and lions) as food and sustenance? Or the fact that average McAmericans are totally ignorant to the Mcpractice?
At least Africans are eating real whole food.

Uhh, except that isn't why she does it. Can you even read? She does it for conservation and food for villagers.
Now, how do you know she doesn't show respect for their spirits? Would that make it OK or would you just chose to insult her for believing in spirits instead? Are you sure you aren't stereotyping all Native American Indians? Not a single one of them ever smiled or expressed pride over a kill? Wow. I'm surprised and impressed that you did so much research and critical thinking before taking a stance on the issue.
... part of her quest to bag the Big 5 African game animals (rhino, elephant, Cape buffalo, leopard and lion) ...
Without people like her, the animals have no value besides food. For anyone attempting to do farming, elephants are a huge nuisance. Anyone trying to raise livestock, lions and other predators are a huge nuisance. Without these hunters, the only thing that makes sense to the locals is to simply kill these animals, for food, or for convenience.Yes, because if it we're not for a white cheerleader from the USA the natives would starve! She should be canonized pronto!

As long as she's compiling with the law I don't have a problem with it, but she should be intelligent enough to realize that if you post pics of yourself sitting on top of an animal you just shot the public reaction will be extremely negative, most people do not understand the concept of "culling" and just react in a knee-jerk fashion, it would have been wise or her to keep her photos off-line for this very reason..
