of other companies and could only find "Under Armour" and "Honeywell" that support or have CEO's that trophy hunt.

I wish someone would make out a list and put it on a Twitter type photo so we could spread it around and make these people pay for what they do

Here is some more information.

"An undercover investigation of Safari Club International’s 2016 annual convention held in Las
Vegas reveals that the trophy hunting organization supports selling off the world’s most
threatened animals for trophy hunters to kill around the world. Major names in American
businesses – including David Cote, chairman and CEO of Honeywell International, Inc., Jimmy
John Liautaud, CEO of Jimmy Johns Gourmet Sandwiches, and Flagstar Bank (one of the
nation’s largest mortgage-lending companies) founder Thomas J. Hammond
- - are part of the
global animal-killing enterprise, with hunting outfitters and the Safari Club International cashing
in on the enthusiasm for the killing sprees.


More than half of SCI’s annual revenue - $14.7 million, in the form of tax-exempt gifts – is
global animal-killing enterprise, with hunting outfitters and the Safari Club International cashing
in on the enthusiasm for the killing sprees."
