Expedia - pull your turtle ad
Expedia: You are featuring an ad in which a tourist is swimming after and quite possibly touching a turtle in Hawaii. Turtles are an endangered species, and it is a felony to harass them. By featuring this ad, you are encouraging your customers to break the law and harass turtles. Please pull this ad. Please also run a public service announcement advising your customers that they should not chase, touch, or harass turtles and other sea creatures in Hawaii.
Why is this important?
This petition is in response to a disturbing ad running on TV for Expedia which features a tourist harassing a turtle (with the message that the turtle was her new friend). Turtles are endangered species, and it is a felony to chase, touch, and harass them.
