The teenaged Texas Tech cheerleader who created a social media firestorm with photos of the African big game she hunted has fired back at her online attackers. 一名德州理工大学的青年女学生、拉拉队长在社交网络上晒出自己猎杀的非洲大型野生动物的照片,引起了轩然大波,而她本人也与抨击她的网友展开了论战。 In a defense that invokes the safari-loving 26th U.S. president Teddy Roosevelt, Kendall Jones, 19, claims that killing rare rhinos and elephants actually helps to save them. 19岁的肯德尔·琼斯为了辩护自己的行为还请出了酷爱狩猎的美国第26任总统泰迪·罗斯福。她声称,猎杀稀有的犀牛和狮子实际上是为了更好的保护它们。 'This is a conservation effort to assure that they never do become extinct,' the teen from Texas posted to Facebook. “这是一种保护野生动物的努力,是为了确保它们永远不会真的灭绝。”这位来自德克萨斯洲的青少年在Facebook上这样写道。 Facebook, of course, is where the controversy began. By Wednesday evening, 150,000 global animal lovers had signed a petition urging CEO Mark Zuckerberg to take down the photos in which Jones smiles proudly over the corpses of her prey she claims to be saving from extinction. 她与网友的论战就是在Facebook上展开的。截止到周三晚上,已经有15万来自全球各地的动物爱好者联名签署了一份请愿书,请求Facebook的CEO马克-扎克伯格从网上删掉琼斯上传的照片,在这些照片上,琼斯身边是那些她扬言要保护并预防其灭绝的动物的尸体,而她脸上挂着得意的微笑。 |
