Shortly after that he posted a photo by trophy hunter Rebecca Francis who recently posted this photo.

Rebecca is a winner of the competition show Extreme Huntress and has a long list of animal kills which in some cases are of the endangered kind.

Feeling the heat, Francis then responded that she killed it after it was “old and close to death,” and that the locals needed food.

Ricky responded by posting these photos from her feed.

And to the hunting lobby, Gervais made a point of clarifying exactly who he was referring to.

At this point Francis played the sex card stating that Ricky was trying to bully female hunters.
