Recently, cable station Turner Network Television (TNT) announced plans to air a reality show featuring Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA): Urge Aflac to Yank Cruel Orangutan Ad
Please urge Aflac to stop airing this commercial immediately and enact a policy to ban the use of great apes in any future advertising campaign. Remind the company that there is no reason to use live apes as actors when animation, blue screen, computer-generated images, and other highly advanced technologies—like those used for Aflac’s iconic duck ads—can produce realistic substitutes.
