Capital One is airing a new commercial that features a chimpanzee "actor," despite receiving information from PETA about the abuse and neglect endured by chimpanzees and other great apes who are used in advertising. These highly intelligent and sensitive animals are forcibly removed from their mothers shortly after birth, and they are subjected to violent, fear-based training methods. By the time chimpanzees reach approximately 8 years of age, they are too strong to be safely handled and are often discarded at seedy roadside zoos or relegated to cramped cages on training compounds.
After meeting with PETA and learning about the cruelty associated with using apes in advertising, many top companies and advertising agencies have pledged not to use great apes in their advertisements. Please help convince Capital One to follow the lead of these progressive companies. Please take a moment to contact Capital One's CEO and ask him to make the compassionate decision to pull the company's offensive commercial featuring a chimpanzee.
Please forward this message to friends, family members, and coworkers. Thank you for everything that you do to help animals.
