Habitat destruction is driving these animals to the brink of extinction. Killing them for "sport" makes no sense.

What sickens me is the blood lust of these so-called hunters. That silly grin plastered across the CEO's face and his thumbs up gesture tells me that he is just another mindless, murdering thug with a winchester penis.

BRAVO!!!

These are assholes who feel entitled. They're successful business people who feel they can fuck or kill anything they want, living without empathy or compassion for any critter or mostly anyone.

From SANDWICH MAKERS.

Making new hires sign agreements that if they quit or get fired, they won't work in another sandwich shop for a year or some dumb shit like that.

It's a form of employee intimidation and control, nothing more.

Any outfit that will sink to that, I'm never surprised to find out what other assholery they're up to.

disgustedly,
Bright

since that blocks them out of way too many jobs. There are many restaurants that sell sandwiches. Cities will have a lot within 2 miles of a jimmy johns and being blocked out for 2 years is a crippling financial hit.

NY State made them stop it

in some cars in the parking lot I'd support you in spirit.

I've wanted to do that for a while but I've had some physical problems that I have been dealing with lately and it has stopped me.

I suggest wearing a hat with a mask to keep all the cameras at bay.

I will not watch the video, and would not have opened this thread.

I don't eat Jimmy Johns food anyway.

It seems employees there have to sign a no n competition agreement. For fast food/pizza workers! !
Now I’ll add this reason to my boycott.
