Anheuser-Busch, DDB Follow Cruel Trend of Exploiting Chimpanzees

Ad agency DDB Chicago has created a television commercial for Bud Light in which a chimpanzee depicted in a cage at a zoo steals a beer from a zoogoer and then taunts the man with it in retaliation for his having teased the chimpanzee with a banana.

Please contact Anheuser-Busch, the maker of Bud Light, and its advertising agency, DDB Chicago, 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 Anheuser-Busch products until the companies agree not to use great apes in their future work:
