For arguments sake then the animals for whatever reason were roaming the neighborhood... Better?
Again these people are welcomed over to do this, its an industry, providing conservation and food for the locals as well as money for the region. What would your killing of neighborhood animals do for any of that?
Youre desperately trying to draw a comparison where there is none

There is a massive difference between killing for food and killing for fun...
For example if I went round killing peoples pet dogs and cats then used the meat to feed people does that justify the killing ?
What kind of person do you think administers the kill shot at the slaughterhouse that keeps you fed? Aint chu ever seen Texas Chainsaw Massacre?

If she hadn't bragged about it on FB and wherever
Good point.
She killed for glory?
Or was it to feed people?
Ah.
To feed the poor defenceless people of course who are incapable of hunting for themselves.

The Giraffe was stood next to an Ostrich, the Ostrich said to the Giraffe, there is a hunter over there, get your bloody head down.
Whilst I have no issues with this, I cant help but think that these 'local tribes' they gave the meat to didn't exist, eating an 18 year old giraffe when you probably have a farm full of cattle doesn't sound real to me. Its South Africa right, not Ethiopia.
If they dont have to eat the cattle, that also provides them with other resources, and is used as form of currency, than its even better for them.
There have been several people from SA on this thread that confirm the benefits of these hunts to the region, locals and conservation of the species
