PG Tips

Why is there so much fuss being made about this? We had those PG Tips adverts with monkeys in them a while ago and no-one was complaining.

Exactly... Animals, humans, babies, etc. are being used for ads all the time. So what? Maybe we shouldn't use animals or humans at all for anything because appearing anywhere may seriously hurt our value as living beings ... oh, come on! We have plenty of real issues to worry about, so get real.

The monkeys have already been used for the commercial, its not like the creatures are enduring an ongoing torture. If the groups are so worried about animals, they should focus their efforts elsewhere.

Notice that the PG Tips adverts - which features chimpanzees, which are not monkeys - are no longer in use. the practice of using primates as performers is increasingly recognised as cruel and unnecessary, not to mention tacky, by the general public.
