﻿An American 12-year-old whose big game hunting photos have shocked the world has hit back at haters, saying: "I'm never going to stop." 

Aryanna Gourdin's kill list includes a zebra, giraffes, wildebeest, and even a bear, if her Facebook trophy photos featuring guns and bows are to be believed. 

The pre-teen's been labelled a "murderer", "evil" and "disgusting" after sharing photos from a recent safari in Africa with her dad, Eli.

On her Facebook page, Braids and Bows, she captioned a recent photo of a zebra, apparently killed with a bow and arrow, "One of my dream hunts for sure!!",  complete with a heart-eye emoji. 

While some online have defended her right to hunt, most have attacked the Utah girl - including some threatening violence against her. 

But Aryanna's not backing down, telling Good Morning America her critics won't stop her doing what she loves. 

"It's something I cherish and enjoy and I want other people to see what I experienced," she said. 

"I am a hunter and no matter what people say to me, I'm never going to stop." 

Eli Gourdin added that the giraffe Aryanna killed was a "problem" animal in the area, and that the meat from all of the animals they killed would feed hundreds of local orphans. 

Nonetheless, Aryanna joins a growing list of American hunters whose big game photos have sparked a backlash. 

In 2014, Texas cheerleader Kendall Jones shocked with her toothy smiles next to dead wildlife, while last year, Idaho accountant Sabrina Corgatelli drew scorn for her gleeful posts, one of which read: "To all the haters.  Stay tunes, you're gonna have so much more to be p...ed off about." 

Minneapolis dentist Walter Palmer became the most notorious, after killed famous Cecil the lion in a Zimbabwean national park.
