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.
