On 7 August 2017, the Facebook page Stop the Cull posted a picture of actor Chris Pratt with a quote in which he purportedly extolled the joys of hunting: This was not a real quote (although Pratt has said all of these things at different times), but a mishmash of various interviews that Pratt has given over the years, rehashed and served up in meme form with context removed.
