 3M
Supports Chimpanzee Abuse to Sell Cleaning Products
3M is running a television commercial in which a young chimpanzee
is shown “grinning” as the animal helps a pet shop owner
clean the store with Scotch Brite products.
Apes on television and in the movies have something in common with their human costars-their wide, toothy grins. The apes, however, are "smiling" in terror. To them, acting is strange, upsetting, and often torturous. Most people do not know that the chimpanzee "grin" so often seen in movies and on TV is actually a grimace of fear or a carefully choreographed response to a command. Learn more.
Please contact 3M to politely show your concern about the cruelty inherent in using great apes in entertainment. Be sure to point out that you won't purchase 3M products until the company agrees not to use great apes in their future work:
