Jay Cutler Goes On Hunting Spree In South Africa, Sparks Controversy

Jay Cutler has found himself in the middle of a controversy after posting a series of snapshots from a South African hunting safari … with a full-blown debate breaking out on his social media comment section.

Cutler first shared a photo on his Instagram over the weekend … posing over a dead Sable antelope with the caption, “Kicked off the Africa hunt with a beauty. Sable down.”

Cutler? Thrilled. Most of his followers? Absolutely disgusted … with one user saying, “This is nothing to brag about.”

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

While the majority in the comments may not be in support of what the 42-year-old is doing … it appears everything is all good in the eyes of the law.

In South Africa, people are allowed to partake in such activities through regulated trophy hunting programs … and a few users made note of that — even pointing out how the meat tends to be donated to locals.

The 12-year NFL vet isn’t letting the online noise get to him … as he shared more photos of his adventure in the country, which included two more dead mammals.

The trip seems like a part of a lengthy excursion for Jay … who last week shared some flicks from his time with family in Australia.
