Former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler has found himself at the centre of a heated debate after animal rights organisation PETA condemned his participation in a hunting trip to Africa. Photos of Cutler posing with slain wildlife have ignited fury among activists, who accuse him of promoting unethical and cruel practices.
PETA's Strong Condemnation
PETA, known for its staunch opposition to hunting, did not hold back in its criticism of Cutler. The group released a statement calling the ex-athlete's actions "archaic" and "disgraceful," urging him to reconsider his stance on wildlife conservation.
The Controversial Expedition
The hunting trip, reportedly taken in South Africa, saw Cutler posing with several animals, including antelopes and other big game. While such expeditions are legal in certain regions, they remain highly contentious among conservationists and animal lovers worldwide.
Public Reaction Divided
Social media has been ablaze with mixed reactions. Some defend Cutler's right to engage in legal hunting, while others echo PETA's sentiments, labelling the act as unnecessary and cruel. The debate continues to rage as more details emerge about the nature of the hunt.
Cutler, who retired from professional football in 2017, has yet to publicly address the controversy. Whether this incident will affect his public image remains to be seen.
