24. The negative comments about thinking it was cute

went beyond "corrected by some of her followers." They were overwhelmingly negative.

But the difference is, she Ellen posted a picture of an unrelated child and an unrelated dog. She was not actively engaged in encouraging bad behavior (by snapping the shot, rather than intervening) or in failing to protect the pet.
