After receiving complaints about a Samsung ad that featured Ozzy Osbourne and a grinning chimpanzee playing the guitar, PETA contacted the telecommunications company. We told Samsung executives about the cruelty inherent in the procurement, training, and disposal of great apes used in advertising, and the company pulled the ad from rotation.

“Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?”
— Ingrid Newkirk, PETA Founder and co-author of Animalkind
