It has been suggested by Peta and animal rights activists that the public is offended by performing/captive animals. I suggest that Madison Avenue isn't buying that unfounded claim any more then the American people are, and are using what the people want to sell product. Advertising on the recent Super Bowl featured rhinos, Gaur, Dalmation Dog, Ostrich, Capuchin Monkey, European Wild Boar, a horse, and chimpanzees. If you wanted to stretch like the ESA suit, you could include the cartoon Cheetos Cheetah.

Saw an okapi on a billboard advertising something at Sky Harbor airport in Phoenix the other day.
Ben,
Peruse a copy of Vanity Fair and count the number of times animals are used. I get real tired of animals and AR as being the reason for the decline in attendance.
I think animals doing the same thing they have done for 150 years might be more accurate.
