For those that believe in hearing opposing ideas, here is a podcast I found interesting that I listened to on my drive to my hunt (Peta would be proud because I didn't shoot anything). I found some things I could agree with them on and they certainly didn't seem as radical as people paint them. I also respected the effectiveness of their campaigns. Often times we hunters can't seem to get out of our echo chamber.

The way my hunts go these days, I expect PETA to be sending me one of those decals any day now.I'm going to make one of those little PETA endorsement decals and put it on my rifle

We're talking about the group that puts nearly naked women in cages and literally throws red paint on hunters for publicity stunts, right? Who's doing the painting? One of us is confused.

Seriously, I'd say Ingrid Newkirk is an absolute loon but that would be an insult to one of my favorite birds...

Let me guess, you and Brentd make old fashioned Lye soap while sipping scotch and smoking cigars after grouse camp.

Puts women in cages? Obviously you didn’t listen to the conversation. I get it. I really didn’t expect anyone to.

Alcohol & tobacco free since August of 2019 my friend.
@BrentD & I sit around camp laughing at all you poor schulbs who think shotguns made after 1980 are worth anything. We basically think of these people as the vegans of the gun world.
Which reminds me, I've got a high school buddy who is a world-famous surf art painter and has been a vegan since high school. The dude is 51 but looks like he's 35. Just a golden god kind of guy. He also is a vegan chef, and part-time yoga instructor who lives in Pavones, Costa Rica so he can ride the second largest lefthander in the world. Dude may not be eating meat, but he's doing something right. He's also not all cross-fit about it.

Happy just-over-five years cleanaversary Ben. Could you imagine living a life void of the universe's finest gift?

I've never done this but I don't think it does any good to boycott a product or a brand unless you also take the step of writing a letter to the company detailing why you are choosing not to purchase their products.
Suave is never going to notice if I quit buying Suave products because of the PETA label. My boycott would be meaningless because the company doesn't even know it is happening.
Write a letter and send it to them, suggest that they partner with conservation groups instead. Request a response. You might not get a response and the company still might not care but imagine if they get 1,000 letters about the same issue.
The reason the Bud Light Boycott worked is because thousands of people posted videos and made their complaint known to the company.
Anyway, it's just a thought.
