The CEO of popular sub spot Jimmy John's is proof that money doesn't buy you class after a series of despicable hunting photos made the rounds on Twitter. In the most recent photo, the CEO is seen smiling proudly in front of an adult elephant he likely spent tens of thousands of dollars to shoot dead. When the photos hit the internet, they immediately went viral with a boycott trending on twitter of the chain.
When it comes to protecting and conserving an entire species, there is no justification in shooting them dead and posing in front of their corpses' proudly. One cannot argue that they are helping to save a species while also shooting them dead for fun, it simply couldn't be further from the truth. The money paid to hunt these animals hardly compensates for the fact that these animals are facing grave danger in the wild and every single one of them remaining in the wild is crucial to their survival. Trophy hunting hides behind conservation as some sort of sick justification for shooting endangered animals and shames organizations that are actually out there working tirelessly to protect these animals from extinction.
If you're on twitter, join me and the countless others by sharing this story or any of them mentioning this jackass and make sure to use the hashtag #boycottjimmyjohns to keep this trending. I hope his business suffers or he does at the very least for his actions and perhaps he smartens up and contributes to a conservation fund or even decides to abandon trophy hunting in favour of the millions of other things we can do to have fun.
HAPPY VEG
