The woman you see in the picture above is Melissa Bachman. She is a trophy hunter. She posts pictures of her prey on Facebook and Twitter. And that is not gaining her any fans, online and in the real world.

Her latest online post is a picture of herself posing with a dead lion she killed in South Africa in early November. Now there's a Change.org petition requesting the South African government to deny her any future entry. She boasted her accomplishment by posting the picture on her Facebook page, Twitter account and her website. Take a look at it below:


Disgusting right?

Elan Burman, a Cape Town resident started the petition, saying Bachman "is an absolute contradiction to the culture of conservation" that South Africa stands for.

"Her latest Facebook post features her with a lion she has just executed and murdered in our country," Burman wrote in the petition. "As tax payers we demand she no longer be granted access to this country and its natural resources."

The petition reached even celebrities like Ricky Gervais and Matthew Inman (founder of The Oatmeal). Here they are supporting it:






A Facebook page called "Stop Melissa Bachman" has gathered almost 100,000 Likes since its creation on November 14. Interestingly, this isn't the first petition against her. Last year, 13,000 people signed a petition asking National Geographic to drop her from the show Ultimate Survivor Alaska, which they did after.

Will trophy hunting ever be made illegal worldwide? Let's hope so.
