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.
一名德州理工大學(xué)的青年女學(xué)生、拉拉隊(duì)長(zhǎng)在社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)上曬出自己獵殺的非洲大型野生動(dòng)物的照片，引起了軒然大波，而她本人也與抨擊她的網(wǎng)友展開(kāi)了論戰(zhàn)。

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歲的肯德?tīng)枴き偹篂榱宿q護(hù)自己的行為還請(qǐng)出了酷愛(ài)狩獵的美國(guó)第26任總統(tǒng)泰迪·羅斯福。她聲稱，獵殺稀有的犀牛和獅子實(shí)際上是為了更好的保護(hù)它們。

'This is a conservation effort to assure that they never do become extinct,' the teen from Texas posted to Facebook.
“這是一種保護(hù)野生動(dòng)物的努力，是為了確保它們永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)真的滅絕?！边@位來(lái)自德克薩斯洲的青少年在Facebook上這樣寫(xiě)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.
她與網(wǎng)友的論戰(zhàn)就是在Facebook上展開(kāi)的。截止到周三晚上，已經(jīng)有15萬(wàn)來(lái)自全球各地的動(dòng)物愛(ài)好者聯(lián)名簽署了一份請(qǐng)?jiān)笗?shū)，請(qǐng)求Facebook的CEO馬克-扎克伯格從網(wǎng)上刪掉瓊斯上傳的照片，在這些照片上，瓊斯身邊是那些她揚(yáng)言要保護(hù)并預(yù)防其滅絕的動(dòng)物的尸體，而她臉上掛著得意的微笑。

'[Roosevelt] was a hunter too, right? He killed the same species that hunters now chase today under a mound of anti-hunting pressure.
“羅斯福也是一個(gè)獵手，不是嗎？他所獵殺的動(dòng)物，和當(dāng)今的獵手們頂著反對(duì)狩獵者的輿論壓力而進(jìn)行獵殺的動(dòng)物是同一種類?！?/div>

Jones' Facebook remains active, the photos that started the controversy have vanished.
瓊斯的Facebook賬號(hào)仍很活躍，但是那些惹起爭(zhēng)議的照片已經(jīng)消失了。

Meanwhile, a Facebook account has now been created as part of Jones' defense called Support Kendall Jones.
同時(shí)，有人新注冊(cè)了一個(gè)名為“支持肯德?tīng)枴き偹埂钡男沦~號(hào)，這是瓊斯的辯護(hù)方式之一。

'Support this teenage girl who was attacked for posting pictures of her game that she legally harvested while in Africa,' reads the page.
該賬號(hào)的主頁(yè)上寫(xiě)著：“請(qǐng)支持這個(gè)女孩，她在非洲獵殺動(dòng)物是合法行為，卻因上傳這些照片受到人們的攻擊?！?/div>

Jones claims photos of dead hippos, elephants, lions and other beasts on Facebook are a testament to her hunting skills and dedication to game preservation.
瓊斯聲稱，這些拍攝了河馬、大象、獅子等動(dòng)物尸體的照片是對(duì)她狩獵技巧的見(jiàn)證，也是對(duì)她保護(hù)動(dòng)物的決心的見(jiàn)證。

But critics are appalled by the teen and are calling Kendall sick and depraved for killing the rare animals and boasting about it online.
然而批判肯德?tīng)柕娜吮硎緦?duì)她的行為感到震驚，并表示她獵殺這些珍稀動(dòng)物，在網(wǎng)上進(jìn)行炫耀的行為非常變態(tài)。

'For the sake of all animals,' reads the petition against Jones as it implores animal lovers to sign, 'especially the animals in the African region... where hunters are going for fun just to kill an animal!'
“請(qǐng)為動(dòng)物們想想吧！”一位反對(duì)瓊斯的請(qǐng)?jiān)刚哌@樣呼吁人們?cè)谡?qǐng)?jiān)笗?shū)上簽字：“尤其請(qǐng)為非洲的動(dòng)物們想想！在那里，獵手們?yōu)榱巳?lè)，就可以殺死一只動(dòng)物！”
