The American Anti-Vivisection Society is up in arms over one of Puma’s latest TV commercials. The animal rights organization posted a statement on its Web site asking the sneaker company to stop using primates in its ads.
The offending spot shows a chimpanzee inspecting a Puma running shoe. The AAVS calls the commercial "not only seemingly pointless, but cruel. … The commercial opens with a baby chimp in a diaper walking up to a sneaker … The relevance of the chimp is unclear."
