Muck Boots supports HSUS

[RangerClay]

Not sure how many of you saw the Muck Facebook page that is blowing up the internet.  It has since been pulled.  Apparently Muck held a fundraiser for HSUS.  Muck claims that it was for a local animal shelter but the shelter has posted that they know nothing of it and would like everyone to stop calling their facility.  I don't know about you but Muck will get none of my business.

This was on another forum I get on,not sure how true it is as I dont get on facebok so I cant verify,maybe someone with a facebook account can and get back to us

 

 

Here is their comment on Facebook...........


The Original Muck Boot Company

We would like to respond to our loyal customers and provide additional information about recent posts on social media regarding a monetary donation to a local animal care organization. Our post inaccurately stated that a donation was made to The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). Moreover, the post itself was inappropriate under the circumstances.

Family members of an employee who recently passed away requested that, in lieu of flowers, co-workers donate funds to the Humane Association of Northwestern Rhode Island, a local association founded in 1978 to solve community issues primarily related to stray cats. They are not affiliated with HSUS as the posts incorrectly stated.

The money is not a corporate donation, but a collection of personal contributions from employees with the intent of remembering a beloved co-worker. While our intentions were good, the use of corporate social channels under these circumstances was inappropriate.

Muck Boots has a heritage of respect for the outdoors and for nature. We apologize for the anger and confusion the posts have caused and have removed them from our social channels.

Ha-ha..... what a monumental screw-up. I would guess that somebody is in big trouble .... lol.

I don't buy the apology post myself.  If you read some of the comments after their apology, people called Muck and the confirmed it was going to HSUS.  I see some major CYA going on right now.

A little overreaction I think. They're the best boots I've ever worn and I'm sure the company didn't do it intentionally. They're not stupid.
