A photo of director Steven Spielberg posing alongside a dead triceratops has gone viral after people commenting on the photo on Facebook somehow mistook the large animatronic beast as an actual trophy slaughter, despite the fact that dinosaurs have been extinct for literally millions of years.
On Sunday, a man named Jay Branscomb posted the image of Spielberg seen above, taken on the set of the 1993 film
Jurassic Park, alongside a caption that read “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.” The caption was, most likely, making reference to the recent firestorm that followed Texas cheerleader Kendall Jones’ photos showing her alongside dead endangered species she hunted in Africa.
