DAVID Walliams has infuriated animal rights activists after sharing a picture of himself kissing a dolphin on holiday.
The Britain's Got Talent star shared the picture on his Instagram page yesterday and was quickly inundated with hundreds of scathing comments.
David took the snap during from his holiday with his mum, Kathleen, in Dubai.
He simply captioned the picture: “Kiss”.
One person commented: “Stunned that you would support this hideous industry... extremely disappointed.
“How can you claim to love animals and think that this is OK? How people can say this is 'sweet' and 'cute' is beyond me."
A second wrote: “These animals should be free swimming hundreds of miles a day NOT stuck in a tank for idiots to kiss and fawn over in the name of entertainment.
“I'm actually really surprised and disgusted that you visited such a cruel place.”
While a third told him: “Seriously, why? I thought you were smarter than this...
“I thought you loved animals, I thought you had compassion and empathy. Do you not know how cruel this exploitation is?
“I am so disappointed, now you're on my list of celebs who abuse dolphins.”
The Sun Online has contacted David's representatives for comment.
