PETA has finally convinced Ad council to make a pledge against use of apes and gorillas in advertisements.  Yes, we owe it to our endangered and abused ancestors!

Good news for aspiring models/actors too.  Chimps were actually stealing the show and job assignments. There was this famous chimp playing drums in a Cadbury ad. There was another one stealing an undergarment in another commercial.  So chimps will lose their jobs and maybe their masters too. Is there any talk about rehab for these used, abused and now dumped chimps and apes? PETA should follow this up.

There are countless other animals often used in commercials. Dogs top the list. Dogs after all are the brand ambassadors of loyality! Even dogs, cats, birds and lesser animals face harsh training sessions to get the shot right. So there should be general ban on use of all animals. None of them have pan-cards and this is gross abuse.

This does not mean end of use of animals in advertising. This will certainly end the abuse and torture. Animal pictures, videos from the wild or pet pictures and videos can be used very effectively to put the same message across.
