Have you seen the new Arby's commercial actually recognizing that there are hunters and hunting seasons? I think we should all show our support for Arby's because as we all know, in the world we live in today, showing a positive slant for hunting could be detrimental to a business. I know I'll be spending my money there. See first post.

Wow, they sure did take a risk, and my hat is off to them. I've always loved Arby's anyway. I don't care if they do preserve their meat with ammonia (or is that just an urban legend?). The beef-and-cheddar beats a Big Mac or Whopper every time.

Amen T. I'm with ya. Go Arby's!

I am surprised any company would release a commercial with hunting involved. Busch having hunting-themed beer is pretty much the only hunting-related advertisement I've seen lately. Not much of a fan of fast food, but might be more likely to stop at an Arby's now.

Makes sense for a company who sells meat to advertise the fact. Arby's has occasionally done this kind of advertising in the past. Who's going to complain about this ad? A vegan; if you're in the meat selling biz... why care about what they think or feel?

I don't eat fast food very often, but that might make me more likely to choose Arby's when I do.

@charlie,
You forget that there is a large meat eating population that does not agree with hunting. Obviously these aren't the wisest people out there, so they could be easily offended by a commercial.

I respectfully disagree JM. The last study I'm aware of had 80% of people who eat approved of hunting for meat purposes.
