Yet another fast food place that can kiss my ass.
Yup. I was going to order JJ but I was told that he's a big game Hunter. Dude can go get fucked. No ones ordering from JJ's in our office again.
Fuck Jimmy Johns and ESPECIALLY fuck this cunt. Hope he has some bad karma spiraling towards him in the near future.
OP
OP
Wait did he kill a rhino too?
Yes it says these resurfaced. That shouldn't change anything, as this kind of activity hasn't been acceptable in at least a generation.
Damn I had no idea and really enjoyed Jimmy Johns. I guess I'm done eating there though, that's disgusting.
How does that matter one bit? He's not a child in those pictures. Those endangered animals are still dead.
Holy fuck. The picture of him naked on top of the dead shark in that tweet thread. Glad I've never had one of his sad looking sandwiches.
This was more or less my situation yesterday. I jokingly said I'll put my suggestion of a work luncheon as jj but a co-worker informed me of this. JJ now cancelled.
No, in fact there are legal companies run by the governments that let you hunt big game in special zones for huge sums of money, which is then put into breeding and protection programs for endangered species. Letting these hunters legally do it using these companies actually helps the animals, because letting the occasional rich guy do it gives them money to do things like fight off the organized poaching cartels.
Huh. Leaving some animals to suffer awful deaths to find species survival? Who is then Vulcan running this program?
Well, yeah. Everyone loves animals!!!!
Glad I haven't eaten at JJ's since college. Sandwiches are mediocre and the only upside is how quickly they throw them together. Which... should be indicative of the quality, really.
I, too, am surprised that something that affects more than just the U.S. is getting more traction.
Hardly fair. People avoid places like chick-fil-a and Papa Johns because of their right-wing support. Jimmy Johns is smaller and awareness is subsequently more limited. It's hard to keep up with right-wing orgs, but there aren't many stories like this to keep track of.
So nice of Usatoday to dedicate half their article space to Random Twitter User espousing the benefits of these hunts. There's always two arguments these people make.
1). This was a problem animal that trampled fences or what not so hunting them was actually a good thing. It's ridiculously easy for local leaders to find a reason to label an animal, sometimes after it's already been killed, as a "problem" individual.
2). The money they pay for hunting the animals goes to conservation efforts so these are actually a good thing. If only there were a way to give money without having to kill animals over it.

Indeed. There's a moral repugnancy to the whole racket. Imagine if the ASPCA made extensive money for helpful neutering programs by allowing psychos the paid privilege to crush unwanted shelter puppies.
Yes, that's totally what people are concerned about, making sure all of the animal has been eaten afterwards.
And we're all glad you don't hunt big African game anymore.
Easily boycotted because their food is shit. They have a sandwich that has 7380 mg of sodium for fuck's sake. Everything there is like eating a salt lick. Low-quality garbage.
While I find trophy hunting to be despicable and downright evil, a reminder that many endangered species are being saved as a direct result of the practice. I used to be strongly against it, now I begrudgingly support it, but still hate the people doing it.
Watch this:
Video can basically be summed up as: fuck capitalism. There isn't a better way because money rules the world.
I'm less likely to boycott JJs for trophy hunting and more likely to boycott on the grounds of what other twisted things this guy does if he already trophy hunts. Like donating to GOP politicians and the like.

Exactly this.
These videos getting posted about using the money to save animals pretends that we don't have the means to protect theM AND not hunt any.
I have an iron stomach but Jimmy John's is one of the few things that fucks me up every damn time.
I'll never understand the confidence and pride these hunters have too. It's not like they're going 1-v-1 in some arena. Dude is also friends with Papa John too so that should tell you everything you need to know.

I can accept the wealthy hunter's argument that spending their money to hunt big game funds conservation and anti-poaching efforts, while also condemning them for participating in the hunt. They could spend that same amount of money and photograph the animal, and leave the killing to park rangers. I don't like big game hunting culture. It's also one of those activities that you'd be better off not documenting & publicizing. The Instagram posts of grinning hunters posing with majestic animals they killed from the back of a truck and mutilating their carcasses for trophies should be as shameful as pornography. I have no influence over, say, a French or Chinese wealthy hunter doing this, but I can refuse to eat at Jimmy John's and spread that message.
The same type of inner self to think people who don't look like you are beneath you.
