Ex-NFL star Jay Cutler slammed for 'blood-soaked' hunting trip to Africa

Former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler has been slammed by PETA in response to his hunting trip in South Africa.

The ex-Bears pᴀsser has been proudly sharing updates from his trip to social media, as he’s posed with ᴅᴇᴀᴅ animals such as a Sable Antelope.

And the animal rights organization PETA took Cutler to task in a recent post as they branded Cutler a ‘coward.’

‘Former NFL quarterback, now full-time coward, Jay Cutler, traded his jersey for a rifle and went on a blood-soaked ego trip to Africa,’ the organization wrote on Instagram.

‘These animals had families, lives, and a right to live freely until Cutler decided they’d look better as trophies. This isn’t a ‘sport,’ this is shameful.’

In the comments of another post, in which Cutler posed with a ᴅᴇᴀᴅ animal in the wilderness, PETA chastised Cutler once again.

‘How grotesquely cruel and weak,’ they wrote. ‘If you’re desperate to feel powerful again, lift some weights. Don’t terrorize and murder animals peacefully living in their own homes.’

PETA were not the only ones outraged at Cutler’s hunting, as several fans criticized his post posing with a Sable Antelope.

‘Wow, Jay. You killed a wild animal in a place it’s rarely hunted and it had zero idea you were a threat. Suppeeerrrr impressive buddy,’ one wrote.

‘I went to Africa on a safari and saw the most incredible wildlife and never once thought about murdering them,’ said a third.

‘What a cruel “hobby” Jay. Shame on you for killing this beautiful animal. It breaks my heart,’ wrote a fourth.’

Cutler was best known for his time in Chicago, where he holds the franchise record for touchdowns and pᴀssing yards.

In eight seasons there, he accrued a 51-51 record and made the NFC Championship Game in the 2010 season.

He began his NFL career with the Denver Broncos after being drafted eleventh overall by the team and played in the Mile High City for three seasons before being traded to the Bears.

The ex-Vanderbilt star also played one season with the Miami Dolphins in 2017 before retiring from the sport.
