Chris Pratt: ‘I have great respect for the animals that I kill’
The Jurassic World star on why he hunts, growing up ‘dirt poor’ and making the shift from comic shlub to blockbuster heroPratt plays Owen Grady, a raptor researcher who works at a behavioural facility at the edge of the park. Jurassic World has a theme that emphasises respect for nature, and the perils that befall those who don’t, and Pratt relates. He says he reveres “the natural order. That’s something that Owen and I have in common.” He says this respect comes from his experience as a recreational hunter.
The thing inside me that drives me to go out and hunt is very animal
“I have a great deal of respect for the animals that I kill,” he says, “and I feel remorse and all of the emotions that come with it.” As a non-hunter, I ask him to explain how choosing to kill something and then feeling remorse about it fits together. He leans in, happy to explain. “The thing inside me that drives me to go out and hunt is very animal. But the remorse, emotion and respect I feel, and the closeness to God that I feel when I’m out there, is my humanity. It’s an opportunity for me to explore what parts of me are animal and what parts of me are human.”
I like you more and more Trapps.
And your Subject title couldn’t be more appropriate !What a vile little man he is……… part animal?? all animal by the sounds of it………
how can you a recreational killer?
wonder if he knows my ex
He is American, and in America its nothing to go out and hunt, ffs even we have hunting season, at least he’s honest about it, ill take it that everyone who posted on this thread is a vegan??? no, well how do you think a cow gets on to your plate – natural causes??
I eat meat, but i dont kill it, someone else does that for me. – now nowhere did it say if he just leaves the animals there or does he brings them home to eat – so why is it barbaric to hunt???
he does do a good passable Essex accent tho.

I know exactly how a cow gets on to a plate thankyou and no I am not a vegan. Not supporting hunting for pure pleasure does not necessarily go hand in hand with being a vegan or even a vegitarian and if you cannot see that then you need to be less patronising and carry on tucking into your kfc dear.
I bought my dog “archie” or our arch as he is known
some treats today from home bargains,you know them stick things,and hes turned his nose up at them,i was wondering why? then I saw on the packet vegetarian
obviously archie isn’t a veggie then,ut what dog is?
it reminds me of the time a cupla years back when I “baby sitted” a mates dog when he was working away a few days,and he told me in no uncertain terms “do not feed my dog meat,im a veg and so is he
how cruel is that ?,dogs aren’t veggies ffs they don’t even know the concept.
anyway I bought him a 6 pack of pedigree chum and he wolfed the lot
veggies pah I hate them get a life.”how cruel is that ?,dogs aren’t veggies ffs they don’t even know the concept.
anyway I bought him a 6 pack of pedigree chum and he wolfed the lot

coaty you dolt,what do you expect me to feed my dog on
fresh deer from the woods,a bit of squirrel maybe?
hes a dog my dog my mate I feed him the best I can
but I”ll be fckd if I ever put out a bowl of rice and peas for him.I’m not an animal lover….but I have always even as a kid thought hunting was not nice. Why? Well….the only type of hunting I really heard about was fox hunting…..one or 2 foxes being hunted by hundreds or quite a few horses, humans and dogs. Although the flipping foxes are pests….to me its cruel…..an obvious pleasure kick for the hunters…if it wasn’t for pleasure why so many to kill a few foxes?
Chris Pratt…by name and nature me thinks….was obviously asked to comment, and his dithering reply to me shows what excuses he was clutching at to get his point across….doesn’t wash with me
No I am not a vegetarian either….I do eat meat be it maybe once or twice a week if that.
Reading Lucy’s reply…I didn’t think she was being a patronising “dear”….I thought she was posting from a practical point of view
Many people think hunting is ok, think its necessary…..country bumpkins brought up in and around that “world”…..not my thing…I think it’s wrong….it would upset me if I knew I had eaten somthing that was hunted cruelly….as opposed to brought to the table the “acceptable” way
