Well here’s a blog I didn’t anticipate.

The good news for some folks is that I’m not going to live forever. I’m not in all that bad a shape but you hit 40 and well …bit starts falling off.

There is a way to increase your longevity, but I am too weak willed and have too much cognitive dissonance going on to make the right choices when it comes to what I eat. As I write this, a cold can of Holsten Pils is beside me and supper at Maison Hotspur this evening consists of some BBQ belly pork and chicken wings marinated in a white trash gloop. The vegetable accompaniment are chipped potatoes cooked three times.

The intelligent amongst you will obviously know that animal agriculture is straightforwardly madness.

Perpetuating man’s desire to eat other creatures with faces does more damage to the planet that all our planes and cars put together. The methane damage eclipses the carbon footprint damage we produce by any other means.

But man’s gotta eat. Or at least that’s the argument.

However man doesn’t gotta shoot.

I don’t get too outraged by the arses that go hunting for ‘sport’ because that’s plain old speciesism.

A lion gets shot by a dentist and Social Media becomes a global lynch mob. Yet the pumped up passengers on the Outrage Buses are the same clowns content to endorse the mindless slaughter of millions of animals in order to facilitate buckets of chicken and bacon sandwiches.

So I don’t blog this at you from a pulpit screaming about senseless killings and fluffy-wuffy lives being lost.

Rather, for your consideration.

Under Armour are proactive in the hunting market.

One petition has just shy of 90,000 signatures calling for a UA boycott because they sponsor Trophy Killers.

The brand isn’t completely numb to public opinion. Earlier this year Under Armour terminated its partnership with Sarah Bowmar – a mad cnut who put attached a Go Pro onto the spear that her mad cnut of a husband used to slaughter a Canadian bear with.

More detail of this particular piece of sporting genius can be read here.

Under Armour’s dedicated hunting Facebook page is littered with equally happy smiling humans and whatashocker… such hashtaggery as #AlwaysLethal and #EatWhatYouReap. 

I’m unconvinced that any of the other manufacturers of the polyester nasties out there are much higher up the ethical chain, but this is enough for me to suggest to you that you certainly don’t need any UA products in your life right now.
