Chimpanzee
Sanctuary Northwest
February 2016
After the Super Bowl, a commercial from Geico began airing that included a short clip of a chimpanzee.
We all know that chimpanzees simply do not belong in entertainment, and we need your help to encourage Geico to look further into this issue and remove the chimpanzee from the ad. Considering Geico's iconic computer animated gecko, it's very disappointing that they chose to use a live chimpanzee.
The letter that Geico sent from the AHA provided further evidence that the AHA seal of approval is meaningless - in the letter, the chimpanzee used in the Geico commercial is misidentified as a monkey (see below)!
This is quite shocking that an organization tasked with evaluating the treatment of animals, employing veterinary professionals, did not seem to know what species of animal they were observing.
Thank you for everything you do for animals!
