PETA Wants Dez Bryant Flagged For Illegal Possession of a Monkey
Dez Bryant posted this picture to Instagram last week.
It’s purports to show Dez holding his “new best friend,” a monkey named Dallas Bryant. Multiple animal rights groups immediately objected. Now PETA is getting involved, asking local animal control officers to investigate whether Dez acquired the pet legally. It seems that Dez Bryant can’t do anything without attracting negative attention.
