Save the dinosaurs Author Joyce Carol Oates used her Twitter account to speak out against the barbaric practice of large game hunting but she might not have looked closely at the photo over which she was so outraged.
PHOTOS Funny celebrity memes
It turns out that the grinning man posing with a huge animal behind him wasn't a hunter with his spoils it was actually a behind the scenes photo of director Steven Spielberg on the set of Jurassic Park in the '90s.
PHOTOS Best and worst movie remakes
In honor of the release of Jurassic World a Twitter jokester uploaded the photo of Spielberg posing in front of a triceratops with the tongue in cheek message This guy thinks it's cool to kill defenceless animals then take a selfie. Jerk.
Oates seemingly responding without taking a closer look at the picture retweeted the image decrying hunting. So barbaric that this should still be allowed... No conservation laws in effect wherever this is
