Preteen huntress receives death threats after posting pictures with the many exotic animals she's killed

A 14-year-old hunter has become the target of internet critics for posting numerous images of herself with her kills.

Aryanna Gourdin, from Cove, Utah, has received death threats and angry comments on her public Facebook page: Aryanna Gourdin - Braids and Bows.

Some of her most recent pictures show her with the body of a dead giraffe from a safari in Africa, according to Gourdin family friend and owner of Rack Em Up Hunts, Mark Martineau.

These safari hunt pictures, taken with Aryanna's father Eli Gourdin and Martineau, have caused an onslaught of debates on Aryanna's page.

Images posted to the Braids and Bows Facebook include a beaming Aryanna standing next to a dead giraffe and she holds the animal's head up, a dead zebra, an antelope, a wildebeest and a bear - among others.
Aryanna appears to use either a rifle or a bow when hunting.

In one image with the dead giraffe, Aryanna proudly holds her weapon in the air while she rests one foot on the carcass.
Each image has sparked numerous threats and angry remarks against the pre-teen.
