What’s the difference between a Poacher and the Owner of Jimmy John’s Gourmet Sandwiches

ANSWER: One does it for money, the other does it for fun Jimmy John Liautaud

Jimmy John’s Owner Jimmy John Liautaud Likes To Kill Large Mammals
NO STUDIES YET AVAILABLE ON COMPENSATION ISSUES FOR BIG GAME HUNTERS WHO OWN COMPANIES THAT MAKE TORPEDO SHAPED SANDWICHES

In addition to loss of habitat, elephants, rhinos and big cats are being hunted to extinction globally by humans who need their parts. In the case of elephants and rhinos, the tusks and horns are the booty. These are valuable commodities, used primarily in Asia to make little religious trinkets (ivory tusks) and as aphrodisiacs (rhino horns). The animals are usually alive when the poachers tusks and horns are cut away. The world’s remaining big cat are hunted for their skins.Is heinous as this trade it, the motive is profit, enough profit that poachers are less likely to be individuals and more likely to be warlords, or even members of various African military forces moonlighting. They’re in it for the money and the authorities are losing the battle nearly everywhere. 2012 was a record year for rhino massacres, with four out of five remaining species nearing final extinction.Congo elephant massacre

This is a fundamentally different motivation than that of Jimmy John’s sub sandwich empire Jimmy John Liautaud, who loves to go on safari for the sheer pleasure of killing large animals. Look at the big grin of triumph as he poses with their corpses. This is a happy fellow who has proven once again that he can master nature as long as he has a safari staff and a big fucking gun.

Jimmy participates in the safaris on private game preserves, where the safari companies essentially own the prey whose guaranteed death is their profit center. In fact, here’s a handy link to Johan Calitz Safaris’ photo page, featuring a host of mighty men with their subdued trophies.

In case you are looking for patterns, Johnny is also politically inclined to the right wing. He just hates providing health care for his workers, and publicly announced plans to reduce workers’ hours in order to avoid the Affordable Care Act’s requirement to provide health coverage or pay a penalty.

  1. First, let me say that I think hunters are not only cowards, they are cruel and barbaric. That being said, to kill an endangered species to near extinction for profit is worse than criminal and should get at least life imprisonment if not the death penalty. However, I do want it stated for the record that I am a very conservative voter. I feel the government should stay out of my business as long as I am not hurting or killing anyone or anything. I am also a very outspoken and very active defender of animal rights. So, conservative does not mean that a person is against kindness and compassion or even conservation. It means that I don’t need someone telling me how to live, breath or run my life. I do feel that more powerful legislation should be enacted for the protection of all wildlife and animals, livestock included.

  3. On this link is a collection of 150+ pics, posters and information sheets for use on Saturday. I live in a small town and along with a friend will be going out armed with print outs of pics, posters and information sheets to hand to people on the street and in shops and cafes, etc. aiming to tell as many people as possible about canned hunting and what the lions are suffering, as there are far too many people who don’t know. With love and best wishes to everyone participating. Hope you have a wonderful day.
