It's one heck of a guy who's not willing to suck up a paltry settlement of $36 Million and just let his family (and the rest of the town the family employs) get on with business...

Bet he gets a lot of sympathy from the 500 some-odd townsfolk in his dramatic plight to rule his own little part of the world.

Boo-hoo, Jay Link, boo-hoo.

I bought my last link snacks. They have so much money that greed has set in. Not going to help them make another dime.

I loved those Sasquatch commercials - absolutely hilarious. Too bad these hayseeds can't see the big picture and enjoy the family's wealth together.

Yes, God forbid that businessmen who make a great product that people enjoy make lots of money. That's not the American way!

I have "zero tolerance" for your socialist ideas.

Steve Parks: I think the Links donations to charitable organizations go for a lot better things than a skate park. Give up some of your beer money and chip in for the park yourself.

I have known the Link family, primarily Jay & Troy, for over 24 years. Despite knowing them, the full truth of what transpired is out of my reach, as it is yours. They all played a part in this and now they are suffering the consequences. As an old friend, I think it's especially unfortunate how quickly people have attacked Jay. He has integrity, vision, drive and business acumen. He's not fighting for more money because he is greedy. He is fighting for what is rightfully his.

i wouldn't call it a great product they are just able to mass produce where other people cant. the butcher shops in your local town has way better jerky and snack link then they do.

All is disgusting in several ways, right or wrong - We all make money, some are luckier and make it more than others, but it's "how" the money was made that so many is disgusted with. To those that feel money is more important and does not matter the ethics in which it was made, that's the disgusting part!!! Not when it's at the expense of others less fortunate and of innocent animals involved from human error...And when the ethics are passed down generation to generation...As far as the son's right or wrong, it's what they know, how they grew up and what was instilled in them...

name says it all fruit cake. You have no idea about Minong and should not be let into the state due to your unbelievably large butthole. For it is rammed daily by your boss down at whichever half-assed software firm you work for.

At who's expense and at the expense of which animals??? What goes around comes back around, either to haunt you or because of goodness. In this case I believe he (they) are getting reprecussions on much wrongness done at others expense for so many years.

Hopefully this is an eye opener to them and to many others who take advantage of certain situations. "Do onto others as you would have them do unto you!!!" This is not the case with Link's. They have always done what it takes to make "their" own lives happier, and have gotten away with it for years, "because of Who they are". It's about time they are finally have to own up to their faults, attempting to take more advantage...of one's who are taking a stand!!!
