Hi there, I have seen the advert, I was of the same opinion as yourself, I cannot find an email address to contact HSBC, just phone lines and an address as step 2 if your complaint has not been resolved by phone.

This thread was made near 3 years ago dude. Perhaps a bit late to complain?

the thread may be an old one but the ad is still running. there is another concern with this ad, not only are they releasing a snake, native or not, but surly they are also showing that if you can't keep/don't want the snake anymore then don't worry you can have a beardie instead. I mean, how often does this happen in reality when the novelty of one animal wears off just dump it and get a new one.

I appreciate it is old but the I have seen the add over the past 2 weeks, I googled it to try and find it to show someone and that's how I came across this thread.

yeah... you haven't actually watched the advert have you?
the one that's being discussed on here is the one where the family move from Kula Lumpa to Canada. You see the dfference there? moving across continents and having a new pet there waiting for the kids as they couldn't take the snake with them.

I have seen this loads recently too, can't believe they first started showing it in 2007! They need to sack their advertising staff the lazy b*******!

seriously? you think a 20 second advert is going to make people think it's OK to release reptiles into the wild?
