Interesting that this is also formed on a 3rd hand conversation as opposed to horses mouth, but each to their own

A lot of these businesses such as H&F rely on a broad customer base and they wont comment either way as while they may lobby or have views as a company, they may not want to alienate customers who do not share those views. A lot of fisher folk dont hunt have have quite different views on hunting issues and with a lot of outdoor camping gear, a lot of trampers and campers have views that may not match a hunters or firearms owners outlook. We have to understand, that hwile there a re a lot of us, there are others as well and these large companies will need to be diplomatic if they want to keep a large customer base.

Just playing devils advocate here. I can see reasons why a company would not publish its views even though it will likely take steps behind the scenes to support those that do.
