MeatEater Hunting – Walmart Deems Hunting Videos Violent, Orders Stores to Remove Displays
In response to the recent shootings in El Paso and Dayton, Walmart is ordering its stores to “remove signing and displays referencing violence.” The company-wide memo went public today, telling stores to take action immediately. Specifically, employees were told to remove violent movies and video games, as well as any hunting videos. “Review your store for any signing or displays that contain violent images or aggressive behavior. Remove from the salesfloor or turn off these items,” the memo reads. “Turn off any hunting season videos that may be playing in Sporting Goods, and remove any monitors or displays that show the videos.”
