Twitter destroys KP for a horrible timing of his tweet

So animal lover Kevin Pietersen has placed stickers on his Big Bash League bat to strike a blow against rhino poaching. Great cause no doubt and well supported.

But with the recent terrorist attack in Manchester, I’m pretty sure the UK government has it’s priorities set on damage control, investigations and security protocols. But then KP lashed out at Theresa May on Twitter at what it seems like the worst timing ever to point out an issue.

The picture is quite disturbing and something of course needs to be done about elephants slaughtering in africa. But, I hope Theresa May is dealing with the bigger issue of national security right now as her topmost priority.

However, twitter is a mean world, you make 1 mistake and the wall of shame starts. Here is how the twitter users reacted.

Ranging from obvious insult:

To plain angry:

To kind of funny angry:

Not to mention, Ravi Bopara retweeted his tweet in support.

I hope common sense prevails at testing times with our cricketers. If only this tweet was pushed out few weeks later if at all.
