PETA Is Going After Hallmark for Its Chimpanzee Greetings Cards
Fortune ^ | September 30, 2016

PETA is going after Hallmark for selling cards that it says are harmful to primates.

The animal rights organization has sent a letter to the greeting card maker requesting that it stop selling cards that feature chimpanzees, especially those in which the animals are dressed up in costumes and wigs. PETA cited famed primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall in saying that the “smiles” you see coming from the chimpanzees on those cards are actually expressions of fear.

“No chimpanzee should be forced into a costume and scared to death for a birthday card,” PETA primatologist Julia Gallucci stated in a press release. “PETA wants Hallmark Cards to help protect these endangered animals by pulling these vile cards from circulation.”

If I need a bunch of stray dogs killed and buried, I’ll call PETA. Otherwise, they can ST*U.

Gosh.

Poor little chimp.

Sitting there watching Ellen and he gets a greeting card from the mailman.

The poor little guy opens it up and what does the card say?

How the hell would he know? He’s a chimp. He can’t read and he doesn’t get mail.

He would probably just eat the card.

So the card actually helps the chimp.

Unless the card has staples in it.

I’d hate to see a chimp trying to pass staples.

I’d pay good money to watch Harry Reid try to pass staples, though.

PETA and Jane Goodall can both stuff it and get a life.

Stop swatting mosquitoes. Don't you have any respect for animal life?

I guess PETA isn’t monkeying around this time.

Just preparing us for when they convince a judge to declare chimps human.

Howcome PETA won’t go after the crazy cat ladies who dress up their pets and push them around in baby strollers?
Or the zoophiles who openly advocate —and engage in—sex with animals?

PETA, I can do a photoshop of a chimpanzee wearing an Aaron Rogers Packer Uniform driving a Ferrari -- It doesn't mean the Chimp was doing it...

Ever heard of PHOTOSHOP??
