“Kicked off the Africa hunt with a beauty. Sable down,” the first post reads....
“Wow, Jay you killed a wild animal in a place it’s rarely hunted and it had zero idea you were a threat,” one Instagram user commented on the first post. “Super impressive.”
“I went to Africa on a safari and saw the most incredible wildlife and never once thought about murdering them,” another wrote.
The giant sable antelope, which is considered critically endangered and nearly extinct, was considered “rare and impressive animal” in its native Angola, according to the Carnegie Museum of Natural history.
“Never numerous, today the Giant Sable is critically endangered, threatened by habitat loss, civil war, and poachers. Active conservation efforts continue, but population estimates indicate there are less than a hundred mature individuals,” the museum’s website reads.
... Cutler, 42, played 12 seasons in the NFL with the Denver Broncos, Chicago Bears and Miami Dolphins.
