In- Alpenlibe ad sends across a wrong message

[Guest guest]

I always feel, wrong actions are copied faster by kids and

teenagers. you see for most people " Normal is boring " . You try and

show some real good message on television it is unlikely that many

people would follow but show some crap on tv and numerous kids and

youngsters would try and imitate it. So, no matter how creative a

particular ad is if it sends across a relatively wrong message to

the audience it should not be aired. The after effects of airing

such a commercial can be dangerous. And I strongly feel that kids

are easily influenced by ads and that is why all the commercials

target kids and young crowd.

You must have seen the pathetic condition of zoo animals, they bear

immense torture everyday with visitors yelling and throwing stones

at them. Many people give them even Tobacco and liquor. Look at the

already miserable condition of captive creatures and I bet you would

realise it at once that if a celeb like Kajol is shown feeding a zoo

animal, innocent kids would definately follow and make their already

bad condition worse. And moreover many people think they are helping

a captive creature by feeding it but ironically they are adding to

its misery..

Recently I visited Nandankanan zoo (Orrissa), it is an open zoo, I

saw people throwing big stones at the white tiger, the poor creature

was hiding himself from visitors. Many kids were shouting on top of

their voice to gain the attention of Oran-gutan and were throwing

chips and toffees for him. With no one to check their actions

people behave like beasts and show all sort of tricks in front of

zoo animals. Being captive in a zoo is a torture on top of it ill-

treatment by visitors makes their life living hell.

Feeding zoo creatures is not allowed and showing it on air

definately sends across a wrong message to the public.
