Love Is Blind fans upset by photos of Amber Pike posing with a dead deer on hunting trip

Photos have resurfaced of Love is Blind’s Amber Pike posing with a dead deer that she killed on a hunting trip. 

The former tank mechanic from Atlanta, Georgia became engaged to Matt Barnett on Netflix's dating show. 

Fans were upset after photos from 2014 showed her enjoying a hunting trip with her brother. 

One image shows her posing beside the dead animal under the caption: “FINALLY saw a deer… Which naturally also means I got my first kill! She might not be real big, but she’s not real small either. Victoryyyy!”

Under another photo of the deer, she wrote: “Deer selfie!! #SoStoked #BoutTime #Crackshot #OneShotOneKill."

Fans took to social media to express their discomfort with the images: “Not something to be proud of? Compassion to all animals is far more prestigious,” wrote one.

Someone else said: “Truly sickening to hurt innocent animals. and i thought i liked you :(."

"This pic hurt me too... It's horrible ! how can you feel happy about the barbarity you did" added another user.

"How can you think this is ok!!!! Where is the compassion. Karma is a b****", said one more.

After becoming the first couple to get married, Pike and Barnett appear to still be together. This comes after they posted images on social media wearing the same American flag hat during Fourth of July celebrations.

When images emerged online of Love Island’s Ollie Williams “trophy hunting”, over 35,000 people signed a petition calling for him to be removed from the reality show. He has since apologised for taking part in the sport.
