American Animal Lifestyle Principals:
America First:
- America first isn’t saying we don’t care what happens to the rest of the world. It is quite the opposite. When we invest into America with our money and time, we create a stronger America. When the United States is strong, America shines as a beacon of freedom and stability for a world in distress. Whether you’re native or immigrated here, America offers opportunities to all those that reside within her borders. Being American means we don’t have to always agree with our government or its policies. We have the right to choose our leaders, our careers, and change our life’s trajectory through our own actions. For millions of people around the globe, this freedom propels them to risk life and limb to get here, which is humbling. When united as a nation, we are capable of truly amazing things.
- Principals over profits; many companies tout America and sell products with the American flag pasted all over them, but when you look to see where they are made, it is almost always outside our borders, and worse yet, often these products are made in countries that are adversarial to the United States and its interests. As consumers, we can send a message to companies by spending our hard earned dollars with those companies that make their products in the United States who in turn support our principals and fellow Americans!
Don’t Be A Liability:
- If you are fat, sloppy, out of shape, and SHTF (Shit Hits The Fan), you WILL be a liability to those around you. Do not be that person. Train your mind and body to get fit, mentally, and physically. A truly fit body is something that you cannot buy and takes hard work, which is why it garners respect as soon as you walk in the room.
- Mental health is often overlooked. Training doesn’t stop in the weight room and on the range. Read books, take classes, attend seminars, and learn as much as you can. Negativity has no place in your life and you should work to overcome objections from those that detract from your goals. If you take the necessary steps to train, and fuel your mind with positive and useful information, it can change your life.
Loyalty:
- Be loyal to your instincts and trust in yourself to do great things. Stand up for what is right and support those that support you. When you reach the top, remember those that were with you along the way, and encourage them to summit their obstacles. Loyalty is earned, not given.
The American Animal Name
In the late 1970’s at a junior world tournament there was a young wrestler from the United States who pinned most of his bracket on his way to Gold and a world title. During one particular match, a gentleman speaking another language mentioned this wrestler’s last name while sitting in front of the wrestler’s father. The father of the wrestler curious as to what was said about his son asked the foreigner, his reply: “How can anyone win when America is raising animals like that?!” Hence the name American Animal.
Why a Sabretooth Tiger?
The Sabretooth tiger (Smilodon), originally native to North America, was thought to be incredibly strong, and was armed with two non-concealed weapons, its Sabre teeth. The themes of a muscular, armed to the teeth, powerful hunter embrace the characteristics of our target market.
