Male and female hunters are equally vile: Ricky Gervais

Comedian Ricky Gervais has slammed both male and female hunters after "Eye of the Hunter" co-host Rebecca Francis accused him of targeting only women in the hunting industry.
"We need to stamp out this terrible sexism in the noble sport of trophy hunting. The men and women that do it are EQUALLY vile & worthless," he tweeted.
Gervais, 53, was appalled earlier this week, when he saw a photo of Francis lying down and smiling, next to a dead giraffe she just killed, reported Us magazine.
"What must've happened to you in your life to make you want to kill a beautiful animal & then lie next to it smiling?" he wrote then via Twitter.

Francis started getting death threats following Gervais' tweet.
She then blasted out at him in a statement.
"Ricky Gervais has used his power and influence to specifically target women in the hunting industry and has sparked thousands of people to call for my death, the death of my family and many other women who hunt.
"This has evolved into an issue about the morality of threatening human lives over disagreeing with someone else's beliefs. It shocks me that people who claim to be so loving and caring for animals can turn around and threaten to murder and rape my children.
