Utterly deplorable and horrifying. I hope that he will get the karma that he deserves from the animals he's taken from us.

(6,110 posts)Yeah right sitting behind a high powered rifle like a coward and shooting defenseless animals.
I have much more respect for those who hunt bears with bow and arrow. Because it is a risky hunt.
I have never eaten at Jimmy John's and now for sure won't.

(11,122 posts)Animals suffer for months from arrows in their legs and backs. I've spoken with rangers who deal with he animals dying slowly from infection and rotting flesh. I do target archery. I watch these bow hunters at at the ranges. They are not the marksmen they think they are. Mostly they inflict pain.
A bullet wound is bad too. I don't think you should be able to get a hunting license until you can prove your skill. 10 out of 10 of a moving target at fifty yards.
I agree with Temple Grandin. Nature is cruel. We don't have to be.

(6,110 posts)hit with bow and arrow until it collapses. Sure any wound is painful, even a paper-cut. But the animal just gets weak from blood loss and falls down. Not anywhere as bad as killing a bull in bull fights with thousand cuts with the matador's spear. But I can see your point that if the animal escapes wounded, it's end won't be pretty.
Jakes Progress
(11,122 posts)If you are going to hunt. Become a marksman. A real marksman. Learn the terrain. Don't drink and hunt. Don't do anything that could be considered inhumane. Maiming an animal and letting it die slowly in pain is the usual end of bow hunting.
I know a large portion of the population thinks hunting is noble and fine. A large portion of the population also thinks trump is sent from god to save America. I get that we kill animals to eat. That nature designed that system. But I don't get wanting to harm and hurt animals for fun. People hunt with bows for fun. They could hunt with cameras. That is difficult and requires training and skill. But it doesn't hurt the animal. The fun seems to be the pain part.

A local example - they were raising funds for a local chapter of Junior Achievement, and were selling coupons for a free sandwich (normally $8-9) if you were willing to give $5 for JA. I have no affiliation at all with the company - just looked into them once they came to my area about a year ago.
Blue_true
(31,261 posts)There is at least one Jimmy Jones near where I live. I have never eaten there because I passed near it when it had a grand opening and the types of vehicles that were there caused me to look past it.
There is a Firehouse Subs place, but have never been in there.
I will do a search for a Jersey Mike's near me, my guess if there is one, it's in Gainesville, a far, far more progressive city than mine.
TexasTowelie
(112,410 posts)Firehouse Subs steams their meat which I found repulsive. Who really wants meat steamed to room temperature?
For the price, Jimmy John's tasted okay. However, I would pick a Subway over them since they have a wider variety of breads and ingredients available.
Initech
(100,101 posts)I do frequent the local Jersey Mike's a lot. Love their Philly cheesesteak and meatball subs.
We used to have Schlotskys where I live but the franchise owners closed it last year. So between Jersey Mike's and Jimmy John's, I choose Jersey Mike's 10 times out of 10!
Hong Kong Cavalier
(4,573 posts)They even have a flattop to fry up the meat for the cheesesteak. They don't just heat it up in an oven.
Although a "proper" Philly cheesesteak has Cheez Whiz on it, I think.
OriginalGeek
(12,132 posts)ours all closed over 15 years ago. For a little while I could get some in Savannah when we visited my wife's cousin but he died and we haven't been back since.
But I got a Jersey Mike's a mile from my house and a half a mile from my work and even if the other places didn't have repulsive owners, JM's would be my choice every time. Great subs and the folks running the ones by me are super kind and helpful.
oh, and the best part about the JM by my house is I get to drive right past a Jimmy John and a Chik-Fil-A to get to Mike's.

He is too stupid to know that those pictures will destroy 2/3 of the potential business and current business.

I won't be able to sleep tonight. So upsetting to me, and I can't do anything about these things. Horrible cruelty to our wildlife and all animals.
nilram
(2,893 posts)sign non-compete agreements--at minimum wage jobs. So, you can't go make sandwiches at Subway, then? Like, the vast Experience and Knowledge you acquired at Jimmy John's is going to make any freaking difference if you go work at any other fast food minimum wage job? Ha!
A friend worked there as a delivery driver and said they had good-quality ingredients and a tasty product... I didn't ask about the non-compete stupidity (he just needs a job, without my liberal agenda). So I recently thought maybe I'll go try one of their sandwiches sometime...
But now, no. No! Elitist, ego-maniacal, endangered animal killing? I'd rather eat at (bleh) Subway.

(2,708 posts)In about 1970's a band called Steppenwolf had a pretty good song 'The Pusher'.
I've written a followup 'God Damn the Poacher'.
The Pusher, by Steppenwolf
You know, I've seen a lot of people walkin' 'round With tombstones in their eyes
But the pusher don't care Ah, if you live or if you die
God damn, the pusher; God damn, I say the pusher
Oh but the pusher is a monster Good God, he's not a natural man
The dealer for a nickel Lord, will sell you lots of sweet dreams
Ah, but the pusher ruin your body Lord, he'll leave your, he'll leave your mind to scream
God damn, the pusher God damn, I say the pusher
I said God damn, God damn the pusher man
God Damn the Poacher, by jimmy the one:
I've been a lotta zoos, seen a lotta animals.
Birds 'n bears, grilla's 'n rhino 'n elephants.
Safe enough there, but not in the wild or africa.
See the poacher ruins their bodies, Lord, he'll leave their minds to scream
The POACHER is a monster Good God, he's not a natural man
The POACHER for a nickel Lord, will kill for a horn or a tusk;
God damn, the POACHER; God damn, I say the POACHER
I said God damn, God, God damn the POACHER
