Subject: Shark died after K-Mart commercial

RANDAL -- There's a new petition taking off on Change.org, and we think you might be interested in signing it: A K-Mart commercial had a shark shipped from New York to Los Angeles, and the shark died from stress. Ask K-Mart not to use wild animals in new commercials. Sign the Petition Kmart: Why did a shark die for your commercial? Started by: Robin, Edwardsville, Illinois Shortly after production of a Kmart commercial a 5-foot-long shark died. We need to make sure this never happens again. Please sign. ABC News wrote that "While filming the Kmart spot in Los Angeles on March 6, the shark, which had been transported from New York in a tank, became distressed and exhibited stress, according to Julia Gallucci, an animal behavior specialist with PETA, who cited several anonymous tipsters that contacted her organization. After a few hours in a 60,000-gallon pool, which PETA says that several people were jumping in and out of during the shoot, the shark had to be removed, and soon died, she said." With the technology we have today, such as CGI (computer generated images), we no longer have to put these sensitive animals in unnatural situations that can cause so much confusion, fear, stress, and even death. Please ask Kmart to never use wild animals in their ads and switch to CGI instead. Click here to sign Robin's petition, "Kmart: Why did a shark die for your commercial?".
