Comedian Ricky Gervais sparked a hail of comments online after tweeting and posting on Facebook a photo of a well-known hunter next to her kill, a giraffe.
The photo is of Utah woman Rebecca Francis, who killed the giraffe several years ago in Africa.
Here’s what Gervais tweeted:
What must’ve happened to you in your life to make you want to kill a beautiful animal & then lie next to it smiling pic.twitter.com/DyYw1T5ck2
