Carson Wentz responds to critics of hunting photo on Twitter
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.
