I am asking everyone to boycott Jimmy Johns. The CEO's latest atrocities - killing big game

Last edited Sun Feb 21, 2016, 12:14 PM - Edit history (1)

It is horrific that this man, (who also treats his employees terribly) thinks killing big game is OK. I really want people to boycott his stores to have him feel repercussions from his behavior.

I have posted on Twitter and Facebook so far and now I am asking my friends at DU.

There are some upsetting photos at the site. Just a warning.

And here is a magazine where you can find all the huting information and make your reservations.

They are open about hunting lions elephants and any other big game, nothing is off the table. They cater to people who are too scared to go into the jungle by himself/herself so they go protected by the vehicles that are supplied and are driven right up to the animal. It takes no skill whatsoever. (I plan to say something like that)

On the right side of the page you can see where they hunt and how many animals have been killed in each country.

Tried them once and found them to be overpriced almost sandwiches. Never returned likely never will. There are much better alternatives.

When a similar thread came up on DU. I don't understand why that dentist guy was vilified nationwide but the guy gets off without a mention in mainstream media. They are cut from the same sick twisted cloth.

I will, however, continue to not eat there. There is one fairly close to where I live. I pass by often.

Any boycott of Jimmy John's would hurt only the low level employees, the wage slaves.

Besides, how do we keep track of who to boycott and who not to?
Carry around a list?

I had a central american drug lord/slum owner with his armed bodyguard in my office one time, and they were less offensive than Jimmy John. No joke. His labor practices suck, he abuses his employees, and he kills endangered species for fun. ALL of that public image fits with the personae he asserts in person.

I have avoided spending any of my money with his company for a few years now. YMMV, but if I am hungry I'll keep on looking for a different place to eat.
