LOL. Well it did take you longer to get frustrated than it did me!
IdaRam has this exactly correct. There is no corporate conspiracy to deprive hunters of the right to hunt, or to own guns, or fill in the blank. Those entities are the basis of our capitalist system. And the executives who run them wake up every morning terrified that something will happen which undermines their perceived value to their shareholders. Corporations which depend upon large numbers of customers (i.e. airlines) are particularly easy to target by what is essentially mob action. The one good thing about a mob is that it has the attention span of a two-year-old. They are emotionally rather than factually driven. Sometime in the next few days or weeks the mob will switch to a new target. The antis trying to generate pressure will still be there, but their bludgeon will have evaporated, at least for a time. That will be the opportunity for Delta to announce a responsible approach to protecting wildlife where they will strictly adhere to Cites or whatever to assure the long term welfare of Africa's wildlife. Hopefully, we and the organizations to which we belong, will have provided them plenty of suggestions on how to frame that position.
