Carson Wentz responds to critics of hunting photo on Twitter

On Twitter, where even the most innocuous message won't go unpunished, Wentz managed to rile up a few followers by wishing his dog Mama Henley a happy birthday.

Most Eagles fans wouldn’t associate Carson Wentz with the word controversial.

But on Twitter, where even the most innocuous message doesn’t go unpunished, Wentz managed to rile up a small number of his 670,000 followers after simply wishing his dog Mama Henley a happy birthday.

“Happy 5th Birthday to Mama Henley!” Wentz tweeted. “We’ve been through a lot in 5 years. Best dog and hunting buddy I could ask for!”

Along with the happy-birthday message, Wentz shared two pictures of his golden retriever — one of the dog as a puppy, and another standing behind a row of dead geese following a hunting trip.

At first glance, the response to Wentz’s message doesn’t seem heated, with many fans replying with photos of their own dogs.
