I'm doing a copy & paste of a email I got regarding a new ad on TV for Energizer batteries. I haven't seen it, as I rarely watch TV, but I can only imagine. It took moments to email the company.

SUBJECT: Stop Cruelty Action Requested on Energizer Battery ad --

''Mom'' Energizer Battery TV ad currently running that shows children acting
up at home, with one child ATTEMPTING TO PUT A LIVE CAT INTO A CLOTHES DRYER!
Mom quickly rescues the cat. However, this ad WILL be seen by children (as
well as mindless adults), and some children WILL get the idea of trying to put
their pets into appliances.

This ''Mom'' ad can be viewed online at:

Please advise Energizer of your feelings about this. Use your influence to
have this ad canceled.
