Butcher slammed for sick Jeffrey Dahmer freezer joke to promote meat deal

An award-winning butcher has been slammed and forced to remove a social media post after using a Jeffrey Dahmer joke to help promote discounted meat online. Gareth Lewis regularly makes puns regarding trending topics online and ties it back to advertise the business as the jokes bring attention to his Facebook posts.

He has previously mentioned Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby's queue jumping scandal and a joke regarding Love Island's Davide when the reality tv show was airing, Wales Online reports. However, his latest controversial post on Ponty Butcher's Facebook page mocking brutal serial killer and cannibal Jeffrey Dahmer in a bid to advertise his meat prices has definitely ruffled a few feathers.

The bold post featured a picture of the actor Evan Peters who portrays the evil killer in a new Netflix drama, along with an image of the hefty raw meat multi package deal including steak, mince, chicken and sausages.
