Meijer Caves

This story is so weird. If it was April 1, I would not have been surprised:
"Hunters Kill Pet Project at Meijer"
Right. So Meijer had agreed to donate up to a majestic $5,000 to a program sponsored by the Humane Society having something to do with pets in foreclosure (don't ask).

Apparently the U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance thinks the Humane Society is anti-hunting, so they somehow pressured Meijer to drop its support. Meijer spokesman says:
"We support our customers who come to our store to buy hunting licenses and sportsmen equipment"
So, uh how about the tens of thousands of customers who buy their dog and cat food at Meijer? Like maybe they outnumber the hunters by 10 to 1?

Don't get me wrong, I'm all in favor of hunting. I'm also in favor of rational business decisions and how could anyone have a problem with the Humane Society?

Can't wait to see the letters to the editor.
