Baboons don’t care about your stock portfolio
March 12th, 2009 by admin
Hamadryas baboons can be found in large groups in Northeast Africa and parts of Saudi Arabia and Yemen. Sadly, they can also be found in a Stockmarketvideo.com commercial.
In movies, television shows and advertisements, monkeys and apes are often depicted as caricatures of humans, dressed in clothes and placed in contrived poses. The use of monkeys and apes for entertainment is at odds with the animal’s normal life and habits. Trained monkeys and apes are often separated from their mothers as infants and taught unnatural behaviors and tricks.
Such inappropriate portrayals influence the way in which people view these amazing animals, and may perpetuate the continued buying and selling of monkeys as “pets.”
Please contact Stockmarketvideo.com and urge them to discontinue airing this commercial. Also ask them to pledge not to use monkeys or ape actors in their future advertisements.
