Great Clips Removes Chimpanzee Ad
January 2013
After hearing from PETA, hair salon franchise Great Clips agreed to remove its ad that featured a chimpanzee and also pledged not to feature great apes in future advertising.
“Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?”
— Ingrid E. Newkirk, PETA President and co-author of Animalkind
