im not sue they realised the python

They release the royal, because they are moving house, and then the parents buy a bearded dragon to make the little girl happy, i don't agree with them showing that it is ok for people to just let snakes go in there back garden, someone could watch that who is bored with their snake and think if they do it on tv its all right if i do it, (some people really are that thick). I have also emailed them with my views.

HSBC Premier Moving Home , ad, advert | visit4info | TV/Cinema | 1

Pretty sure its not in the UK tho.

cheers rachy

Well its defo not in the uk, maybe they think its ok to show it here, as the royal is being released in another country, maybe people think royals are native where the ad was taken.

But its still not a goos idea to encourage this kind of thing, who do you complane to?

i got a letter today from the ASA after making a complaint the letter didnt say much but its hand signed so someone must have read it at least i know that!

they do live in Kuala Lumpur(Malasia i think),where pythons of one sort or another are indigenous,i havent seen the add to know whether the python is an indigenous species to that area or not,but it seems that complaints on this will be falling on deaf ears

It's deffo not filmed in this country... Think it's meant to show it's a world wide bank available in most countries.. It's not right that they release the python into the wild after being in captivity but have to say different countrys different laws.

I think most sensible people here would not release a royal python in there back garden. China or that part of the world maybe its the normal thing to do..

Still not right to show that in this country though.

First time I saw the ad I was pretty upset at the snake being released into the garden too.

I also thought that any sensible child would notice the difference between a python and a bearded dragon and ask her parents what the hell they were playing at?!!
