Being in the public eye means having to be particularly careful about what you say on social media. Chris Pratt is the latest celebrity to have learned this lesson the hard way. Despite being quite a popular figure, the 'Jurassic World' star has recently become the subject of criticism following a recent post to his Instagram page. In said post, Pratt describes, quite vividly, how he slaughtered a sheep.
The photo shows a table full of kilos upon kilos of raw meat and was accompanied by a caption. The text begins by explaining how good of a life the sheep had before its untimely demise, and goes on to give a in-depth description about how the animal was killed. "Just a touch of a usda certified wand to his head and he goes to sleep", reads part of the caption. Naturally, the post was met with severe disapproval in the comment section, where many criticised Pratt not only for killing the defenceless animal in the first place, but also describing its death so graphically.
In spite of the criticism, many have also come to Pratt's defence, mentioning how the actor's process of slaughtering the sheep is a less painless than those methods used in slaughterhouses. "Best way to eat! You take care of the animals, they live a great life, all organic, and feed your family", read one comment.
Treasured but controversial
This isn't the first time that Chris Pratt has seen himself at the centre of controversy. The actor is well known for his love of hunting, a hobby which has caused its fair share of issues amongst his fans. The last time Pratt was involved in an issue of this kind, he received backlash for admitting that elk was one of his favorite catches due to the difficulty involved.
