Tell Burger King to Stop Canine Profiling

Tell Burger King to Stop Canine Profiling

The Issue

Burger King's new breakfast commercial depicts a mailman walking down the street while two dogs, hang off of him. He sings "Rottweilers and pit bulls-doing the mailman thing" - meaning biting and attacking.  This ill-conceived commercial reinforces the stereotypes of pit bulls and Rottweilers as dangerous animals. It will fuel breed discriminatory legislation costing innocent dogs their lives.

Tell Burger King you don't find canine profiling amusing and ask them to pull this breed discriminatory commercial
