Various people from all walks of life lamented and shared their views on the said incident including Ashley Byrne, spokesman for PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).

Another celebrity who is very vocal about animal rights, British comedian and activist Ricky Gervais, took to Twitter his feelings regarding the killing and went to describe Corgatelli as a “new extreme ‘untress desperate for publicity”.

What’s really sad nowadays is that these big game trophy hunters see fame as an added bonus to their perversion. Just like serial killers.

Not only did she receive negative criticisms, some commenters even threatened her job.

“Everything I’ve done here is legal, so how can you fault somebody because of their hobbies?” Corgatelli expressed as she defended herself against accusers. “How can an employer chastise you for something you do on your personal time that’s legally done?” she added.

Idaho State University, where Corgatelli is working, released an official statement through the Associated Press and expressed that the choices of the said employee is “not representative of the university”.
