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.

This is not the first time the CEO has come under hot water for his pro-trophy hunting stance as he has regularly taken part in trophy hunting and proudly shared photos of his kills. What's especially disturbing about these photos is that this is a man who has plenty of money and could put that money to such good use but he'd rather spend it to satisfy some sick desire to end the life of an animal. Not just any animals either you know, these are often endangered animals that require protection from extinction and this jackass is out here slaughtering them for fun. Now, you guys know that trophy hunting operates under the guise of conservation but as I've said repeatedly, there is no bigger hypocrisy out there.

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.

This man has repeatedly demonstrated a lack of respect for animals hunting some of the most endangered animals on the planet. Rhinos of all variety face grave danger in the wild with 2 varieties going extinct in the past 10 years and he has posted photos proudly smiling behind one he slaughtered. Along with rhinos, he has hunted elephants, grizzly bears, and even demonstrated a complete lack of respect for animal life by posing nude on top of a shark he killed. This man is a pervert of the highest degree and that's why I will be joining in on the boycotting of Jimmy John's by sharing these posts relentlessly. This man needs to be punished for his actions which undoubtedly contribute to the perils endangered animals face. As I said, a man with all of this money could donate so much money to organizations that actually work to conserve these species instead of paying to slaughter them for fun.

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
