A “professional huntress” who sparked outrage after posting pictures of herself with dead stags and goats shot in Scotland could face criminal charges.

Larysa Switlyk, an American television presenter, has been reported to prosecutors for possible firearms offences.

A spokesperson for Police Scotland said: “Following several complaints of wild goat ‘trophy’ hunting on Islay in September, Police Scotland can confirm that a 33-year-old woman and a 41-year-old man from the US have been reported to the procurator fiscal for firearms offences.”

Ms Switlyk, who hosts the Larysa Unleashed programme, was widely criticised after posting a picture of herself smiling behind a dead wild goat in the autumn, with more than 20,000 people commenting on the image.

3. A goat?

4. Wild goats and mountain goats can be very elusive.

This was not a domesticated animal in any way, it was a magnificent beast perfectly suited to its environment and running through rugged terrain at speeds no human could hope to match.

I can't understand the connection between, "How beautiful," and "I must kill it", but that goat was a heck of an athletic specimen before some idiot decided to kill it.

6. Have you seen goats climbing and jumping on cliffs?

It's amazing - google them.

7. Mine's gotten me a few times.

But seriously, the videos are staggering. Mountain goats are freaking amazing athletes almost from the womb.
