Dear ,
Nickelodeon is running a film, Merry Christmas, Drake & Josh, that features a chimpanzee. PETA has contacted the network to inform executives that great apes used in the entertainment industry are ripped from their mothers at an early age and often punched, kicked, and beaten with sticks to ensure that they perform correctly. When they become too powerful to be safely handled on the set (around 8 years of age), great apes are often discarded at dingy roadside zoos or simply warehoused for decades. Please help these highly intelligent, sensitive animals by urging Nickelodeon not to use live great apes in any future programs.
Not only was the chimpanzee in the film portrayed in a demeaning way and even referred to as a monkey, the use of great apes in the entertainment industry is also inherently cruel. Training great apes to perform almost always includes physical abuse to ensure that the animals know "who's boss" and do as the trainer demands. In fact, the wide-toothed chimpanzee "grin" so often seen in movies and on TV is actually a grimace of fear or a carefully choreographed response to a command.
Please take a few minutes to use this form to send a message to Nickelodeon Executive Vice President of Programming and Planning Peter Danielsen. Ask Nickelodeon to pledge never to use great apes in any of its programs again.
Please forward this message to friends, family members, and coworkers. Thank you for everything that you do to help animals.
For all animals,
