American Greetings Ends Sales of Demeaning Chimpanzee Cards After PETA Campaign

After a major PETA campaign—including tens of thousands of messages from our members and supporters and protests at the company’s headquarters—American Greetings stops selling cards featuring demeaning images of chimpanzees. These clownish images contribute to the demise of the species by increasing the demand for these animals as “pets” and hindering conservation efforts. (Hallmark—the largest greeting card company in the world—stops producing and selling cards with inappropriate images of primates within a year, following over a decade of pressure from PETA.)
