Chris Pratt has broken his one-month social media hiatus to reveal he has turned to farming in the months since his shocking split from Anna Faris last year.

But his vegan followers were far from happy to see the Guardians of the Galaxy star, 38, return to Instagram yesterday after he posted a photo of several joints of lamb meat on a kitchen counter.

The comedian turned action hero, who was married to Faris for eight years, revealed in the caption that he raises lambs on his farm and then kills them for meat to feed himself and his five-year-old son Jack.

The comment has angered his vegan followers, who have accused him of 'murdering' the animal - and a few even compared the slaughter to the Holocaust.

Chris Pratt returned to social media yesterday after a one-month hiatus to reveal he has a farm and raises lambs for slaughter

Vegans sent Chris angry messages in the comments of a photo he posted yesterday of a counter covered in meat from a lamb from his farm

Chris's first Instagram post in more than a month was a video for his mini food series, 'What's My Snack?' in which the Jurassic World star revealed he has been eating lamb from his own farm.

He then posted a photo of 10 different joints of lamb on a wooden board, which Chris revealed all came from the same sheep that he had raised on his farm.

In the caption, the keen hunter told his followers that the lamb had a happy life before it was killed.

The muscly Hollywood star wrote: 'Look at all this glorious food! We will eat off him for a month.

'His wool is becoming yarn as we speak. He lived a very good life. He was groomed and shorn, his hooves medicated, de wormed, no antibiotics necessary. Surrounded by laughing loving humans, including children to whom they provided such joy.

'Nuzzled, pet and loved every day. No stressful travel to his final destination. Trauma Free.

Chris has two major blockbusters out this year: Avengers: Infinity War, and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

His Instagram photo, which has been liked more than 441,000 times, was commented on by hundreds of angry vegans and vegetarians

'Just a touch of a usda certified wand to his head and he goes to sleep. The other sheep don’t even notice. It’s like unplugging a tv.'

Chris's comments have prompted vegetarian and vegan followers to launch a backlash. Some have accused him of murder, and other blasted him as 'arrogant' or 'disgusting'.

One commenter told the star: 'This is awful. You murdered someone [referring to the lamb] and now you are bragging about it on social media.'

Another wrote: 'Do better Chris'.

A handful even compared the killing of lambs on Chris's farm as mass murder akin to Hitler's genocide of Jewish people during the Holocaust.

Chris also posted this photo of a hen in a chicken coop on his farm. He keeps chickens for their eggs, he explained in the caption

The angry comments continued on Chris's third photo from yesterday's social media spree of one of his hens, which he keeps for eggs.

However some defended him, saying that Chris is feeding off the land.

It is not known exactly where Chris's farm is, but the actor said he and Anna dreamed of one day owning a farm when they were still together.

On Instagram, Chris reveals that he has a butcher who carves up the meat for him.

Chris says he then gives the meat to family, friends and as gifts, but said he may start testing out recipes and 'opening it out' to his Instagram followers.

Chris called his new farming lifestyle his 'new passion' - and even said it's where he'd like his ashes to be sprinkled when he dies.

It comes on the same day that his ex-wife Anna revealed that she remains friends with Chris and they work hard together to co-parent their son, Jack.

The Passengers star has an impressive roster of declared projects in the works, including new entries in two massive global franchises.

He will be reprising his Guardians Of The Galaxy role of Peter Quill, a.k.a. Star-Lord, in Avengers: Infinity War, which is slated for release May 4.

The next month will see the release of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, which will reunite him with his co-star from the original, Bryce Dallas Howard.

Chris Pratt's agents have been contacted for comment.
