This is one of the worst ads I've seen. Seriously - trash this ad, PayPal. (And consider hiring a new, pet friendly, marketing company, your current one is doing you no favors.)

THIS ADD IS HORRIFIC! PETS ARE LOVING MEMBERS OF OUR FAMILY. IF YOU LOSE A CHILD, DO YOU JUST GO OUT AND GET ANOTHER ONE???

I work in bird rescue - I am so disgusted by this ad; we work so hard trying to reunite lost and found and stolen birds that can live up to 80 yrs, and this ad makes them a "throw-a-way" pet??? Disgusting!

Birds are definitely not just some throw away animal! And I feel like this ad makes it seem like they are. Nah man, don't like this ad so please take it down.

This advert is wrong no one would replace a pet in this way. This advert is just showing people that it is right to abandon pets.

Please remove the "need a new skipper" ad. It portrays irresponsible care of a pet bird and gives a message that pet birds are things that can be easily replaced. In many cases, escaping is a death sentence for pet birds. Thank you.

This needs to be removed. Parrots are mentally like a 4 year old child. You don't just replace them with another one.

This ad is tasteless and cruel. The person(s) responsible should spend some time volunteering at a bird rescue until they are able to understand why it's offensive.
