Something you should know about Muck Boot Company
 

They support the Humane Society, an organization that would like to see all hunting abolished. I have never bought a pair of their hunting boots but now I know I never will.

pretty ironic

not surprised they deleted that post.. that sucks, I really liked their boots

I would like to think that their marketing guy no longer has a job right now. If you go look at their FB page, every thing they post is followed up with an onslaught of "go to hell" type comments lmao. They done messed up.

Man, they should just take down their whole FB page! LOL!

Somebody screwed up!

once
 

i bought a pair once paid round $150, went in the woods once scouting on the thistlewait pipeline, brought them back to academy cause they was already coming apart

Here's something else you should know about muck boots, they suck in the swamp. They tear way too easily.

A quick Google search and the internet is buzzing about it. Not a smart move on their part.

wow! How could someone mess up that bad!!!???? dumbest human alive

Was thinkin bout getting some. Thanks for saving me some money. Lacrosse it is.

Lacrosse is the way to go, for sure.

Lacrosse regular green boots are the best boots ever made

Damage control

Well that seems waaaaaaay too convenient.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha!

Those dummies! They could have gotten a nice donation had they made a call to Muck's corporate office and offered to "play along." :D

Or Muck shoulda been smart enough to actaully MAKE a donation to them before throwing their name out there. Dummies all around!

cover it up hurry!! ahaha

Buck muck foots!

go look who Columbia supports! huge anti gun supporters!

Don't buy Columbia crap either. Didn't realize they were anti gun though. Thanks for the info. Don't buy their stuff because I don't care about name brands. Walmart tee shirts work just as well for fishing.

Oh well I still like my muck boots

Didn't know. Have a pair of insulated steel toe rubber boots for work up north. I am running out of room on my ban list... Starbucks, Amazon, Columbia, Muck boots, anything that the politicians from california, new york, or Chicago like.

Just think if they boycotted things we were involved with. What if everyone didn't buy anything made by, or associated with, someone that they didn't like or agreed with?
What if everyone refused to work for or with someone they didn't agree with on EVERY SINGLE THING?

Not much demand would be left for all the items we produce down here in good ol Louisiana, hope you bought plenty of gold off that fella selling it during the Hannity breaks.

I'd rather give my money for a quality product made by folks that have differing opinions and political stances than have to waste my money on junk made by folks that align with a few of my opinions.

Chicken hates Mako boats, so I'm boycotting SaltyCajun.

This.

Amazon? Man I pay the light bill a few months a year at one of their warehouses. Love me some Amazon.

LOL No doubt! I can't even imagine having to have complete alignment with customers much less employees. The age of instant information has its benefits...and its pitfalls.

Nice

I think social media just blew this up way more than it should have. I can't imagine muck executives would support someone who is a direct threat to their very existence. If they actually are giving the hs money then they deserve to go under.

Yep

'news' gets reported in a matter of seconds now whether its the truth or not

That's generally how capitalism works. I don't buy from companies that associate with groups that fight against my way of life. It's your money, though, so spend it how you see fit and I'll vote with my wallet.

What if the company supports organizations you support, but most of the employees that make a living in the factory don't? I'm not convinced the stance is validated other than providing yourself with a feeling of utility.

My companies executives have views that directly align with mine, but the other 90% of the company doesn't. It's very difficult to quantify the impact because every dollar you spend will support those that probably despise your existence in one way or another.

I gladly support companies for their stance on issues that I feel strongly about, but won't boycott someone if they make a superior product and have excellent customer service just because. Maybe their factory workers are all staunch gun rights activist and outdoorsmen - now you put them out of a job because their execs gave the equivalent of pennies to a humane society?

Too many variables and indirect impacts that are unseen until you peel the layers back.

Well, therein lies the problem. If a company is publicly supporting an anti hunting advocacy group and their pro hunting employees are ok with it, that's fine.. but I'm not feeding their pockets. I understand what you're saying but if I disagree with the companies stance on the surface enough to pass on their product I'm not interested in finding out what their shop workers think. Besides, lacrosse boots last longer.. [emoji4]

LaCrosse is a Japanese company now fwiw if that bothers anyone

Japanese are alright in my book. They kill whales.

:rotfl:




they build most our 'american' vehicles too

Lacrosse boots is headquartered in Oregon, I'll give you 3 guesses as to what their majority political affiliation is - first 2 guesses don't count.

Don't own any muck boots and never will. I'm less concerned that they donate to the humane society and more concerned with the fact that they don't have the ballzs to stand behind it. Instead they try to pacify everyone with a bunch of bs. I don't like that they support the humane society but if they want to do it they shouldn't be two faced about. It's not like they have the waterproof hunting boot market cornered. Plenty of alternatives out there.

You realize that they didn't donate anything to the Humane Society. This was to the Humane Association. Seems most people have even less of a clue of what they are mad about. I checked out the Associations site and this is the only thing I could quickly find about them being against hunting.

And I have never even heard of anyone doing this.

I'm so fowl life I owned Muck Boots before the Boycott.

Bounce da hen

Show of hands... Who's already mucked up??

Well I didn't own a pair before this, but now we should be able to get them pretty cheap.

Its all a big mixup but people already have their minds made up:rotfl:


The fox hunting though - I have in-laws in Union and Lincoln Parish that do this. There is no real hunting though. The dogs chase the foxes (or coyotes mainly now) and the dog that leads the race the longest wins. They don't kill the animals. My wife's uncle has a training pen (100 acres or so) where they allow started foxhounds to practice. He has a couple red foxes, gray foxes, and about 15 coyotes.

So, if you can catch a live coyote in decent shape, these foxpens will give you $100 or so for it:)

Lost mine last year, but will take any that you all are getting rid of

Size 11 1/2 - 12 please:rotfl:

I quit following this story, but did they send out a second excuse or something? Cuz the original post stated not once but twice Humane Society of the US. Then, they sent the first excuse talking about some bs with a dead employee and an organization that never heard from Muck boots. So if it is now american humane whatever, then i will once again have a good laugh.

Notice I stated "publicly supporting". I'm not going around doing background checks on every company I buy products from but if I see an official press release about lacrosse donating to PETA, you can bet I'll find another company to buy boots from. I'm not pushing for a boycott, couldn't care less what you buy but I'm not buying from a, company that's scrambling to cover their asses after a poorly planned press release which outed them as supporters of one of the most rabid anti hunting and anti agricultural groups in the US.

Point?

None
