[OT] CareerBuider.com exploiting animals in their advertising

Hi,
Sorry this is off topic, but as it involves a company that some of you may
use for job placement I thought it's not too inappropriate.

For the upcoming US Super Bowl the job placement company CareerBuilder
intend to run TV advertisements using Chimpanzees as unruly office workers.
Although the 'fun antics' of chimps may seem harmless, sorry to say there
are very sad consequences for them.

Previously CareerBuilder has agreed not to exploit Chimpanzees in their
advertising and this reversal has no doubt been based on having had good
advertising success rate overriding their commitment to desist. I don't need
to expand on the ethical implications of this position by a job placement
company.

If you believe that going back on a promise or cruelty to animals are
morally unsupportable please consider writing to CareerBuilder to make your
feelings known.

Thank you for reading and apologies for posting off topic.

Regards,
Stuart Boydell
