10 Oct 2005 - Use of Orangutans in advertising campaign
Orangutan Appeal UK do not support Meteor’s use of orangutans in their advertising campaign - and in fact strongly disagree with such tactics.
Meteor have recently (October 05) adopted one of our orphan orangutans and made a small donation to our Appeal, but without disclosing who they were or what they were involved in - this in our view is a DEPLORABLE TACTIC. We have since refunded their donation.
We wish to make it known that we fully support the action being taken by the Captive Animals Protection Society to discourage such activities and sincerely hope they are successful in having Meteors advert withdrawn.
The world’s first magazine of its kind, devoted to rainforests throughout the world.
Adopting a young orang is an excellent way to help the projects and get something back in return.
Click now to donate online. We are always grateful for anything you can give to help the appeal.
Our online shop has a great selection of gifts and clothing - all with an Orangutan theme of course!
