Can you believe this?
No, superstar movie director Steven Spielberg did not poach a dinosaur and
then have a picture taken showing him with his trophy kill..
Hard to believe, right? Well, a photo posted on Facebook meant to be satire
went viral -- being shared more than 30,000 times, because so many people
not only believed it was real but also were furious at the "Jurassic Park"
director.
The post by Jay Branscomb on his page happened days after Facebook deleted
photos from the page of Kendall Jones, a 19-year-old Texas cheerleader and
hunter who posted numerous photos of herself posing with a variety of
animals that she shot while on safari in Zimbabwe.
The photos sparked massive outrage from animal-rights activists and other
Facebook users.
So, Branscomb posted the picture of Spielberg with a mechanical Triceratops
on the set of "Jurassic Park," the 1993 worldwide blockbuster about
dinosaurs being brought back to life, with the comment: "Disgraceful photo
of recreational hunter happily posing next to a Triceratops he just
slaughtered. Please share so the world can name and shame this despicable
man."
Many users did not get the joke and responded accordingly.
"I just reported this picture. I hope you all can join me in stopping these
cowards," one user wrote.
And another: "Disgusting! I bet he only kept the horns!"
Still, there were plenty of others who did get the joke, and had fun with
it.

@k9gardner - What's really annoying is that there are so many ignorant
people and all these lo-fos vote DemocRAT. If they only affected themselves,
who cares? But unfortunately they make life worse for all of us. That's why.

"If this senseless poaching continues these gentle creatures may become
extinct, but your $20.00 per month could help save these endangered
creatures , please reach out & help the Tri-tops," a user said.
