Animal Ads

Who doesn't have a soft spot for animals? Animals make for successful ad campaigns. While the title of this post and even the first question posed seem to set the stage for a cute story, unfortunately I'm posting something a little more depressing. The uncomfortable truth is that we need to respect animals more. Bored Panda posted 33 Powerful Animal Ad Campaigns that Tell the Uncomfortable Truth and though it can be hard to look at some of the images, campaigns such as these do have some positive outcomes. In the last few years, the documentary Blackfish which is the story about the Orca Whale's at Sea World sparked enough controversy that Sea World is now listening and changing their policies and plan eventually to stop the Orca Whale shows all together. Additionally another success, The Ringling Brothers are not going to have elephants in their shows anymore.

While these are small victories in the grand scheme of things, they are none the less victories and a small step in the right direction for all humanity.

Additionally, some of the harder campaigns to face are exposed everyday on platforms like Facebook and Instagram. The group Mercy for Animals posts some of the most eye-opening content. This commercial is not tough to watch, but again, it is the truth and they are exposing it in hopes that the ads will convince people to start paying a little more attention to the bigger picture.
