Will there be a boycott of Jurassic World? There just might be, as some Facebook users are outraged over the thought of executive producer Steven Spielberg killing an innocent dinosaur.

Over the last several weeks, there has been a large uproar over a Texas cheerleader posting photos of herself with animals she’s hunted and killed. As a parody meme, Facebook user Jan Branscomb postedย an old photo of Steven Spielberg posing with a Triceratops prop from Jurassic Park, and he wrote, “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 meme has quickly gone viral, picking up over 7,000 comments, 13,000 likes, and 38,000 shares on Facebook. The funny thing is that many in the comments seem to be genuinely upset over the photo and have been condemning Spielberg for killing the dinosaur. Of course, a lot of people are likely just going along with the joke, but at least a few do seem to not realize it’s just a movie prop.
