Former NFL star Derek Wolfe has been slammed by fans on social media after posing for an Instagram picture with a 195lb mountain lion he had shot.
Wolfe ended a 10-year NFL career last season which included winning the Super Bowl with the Denver Broncos in 2015. The former defensive end now spends his time killing wild animals as part of a 'predator control' role.
This week the American revealed he had been called to shoot the mountain lion which had 'wreaked havoc' in a Colorado neighbourhood, killing two dogs and a deer. After shooting the animal with a bow and arrow he then carried the 195Ib lion back down a mountain, claiming that he fell from a 10-foot rock face in the process.
