HSBC Advert
I have just seen an advert on tv for HSBC where some people are moving house to a different country, and the father releases a royal python into the garden. I think this is really irresponsible as it will make other people think that releasing snakes into the wild is an ok thing to do. I'm going to email HSBC now. If anyone else sees/has seen this advert and agrees with me, please email them as well, as I think we should stop this before people think it's fine to release animals when they are moving house!!!

I haven't seen this, but if its as you say it is (not doubting you, just want to see it myself first) then I will certainly complain.
It would probably be worth contacting the Advertising Standards Agency and registering the complaint with them as well. They do seem to take complaints seriously. The link is below: Advertising Standards Authority

There is a Mastercard add which shows a couple of folk in india with one of those roadside snake charmer shows. I thought that was a bit iffy - as in reality these snakes would be defanged not to mention kept in a wicker basket until they are no longer needed. Isn't that glamourising these things?

I don't knw if it was in this country, I was cleaning out my rats with tv on in background, glanced over and saw the snake and thought "oooh pretty!" then got angry when he left it in the garden! Grr
I know it's only an advert, but I just don't think they should be showing stuff like that cos then people will think "well if those people can do it, so can we!" Maybe not... but people tend to be a bit thick. Have emailed the ASA with my complaint, if anyone else sees the ad please lemme know...

Remember people, be polite, otherwise they go "in the bin" Mason
