Will and Grace star Debra Messing described Talley on Instagram as a “disgusting, vile, amoral, heartless, selfish murderer” and told followers: “With joy in her black heart and a beaming smile she lies next to the dead carcass of a rare black giraffe in South Africa.

Kentucky woman Tessa Thompson Talley killed a rare black giraffe on a legal hunt in June 2017 and posted celebratory photos on Facebook, which were tweeted on June 16 with an angry message by the South Africa-based Africland website.
