Hill’s Pet Nutrition should be ashamed of attempting to normalize sin in their newest commercial, “Shelter Pets,” which includes a gay couple holding hands after adopting a dog from the shelter. It appears that Hill’s is promoting same-sex couples to please a small portion of the population while pushing away a much larger percentage of potential conservative customers.
Even though homosexuality is unnatural, this advertisement is pushing the LGBTQ agenda. An even greater concern is that the controversial commercial is airing during prime time when children are likely watching television.
It is not a company’s job to introduce so-called social issues such as this to our children. Hill’s is glorifying sin, and no sin should be honored. Hill’s should never have crossed this line.
Millions of Americans strongly believe marriage should be between one man and one woman. But Hill’s would rather take sides than remain neutral in the culture war. Hill’s will hear from the Left, so they need to hear from us as well. One day we will answer for our actions – or lack thereof. We must remain diligent and stand up for biblical values and truth. Scripture says multiple times that homosexuality is wrong, and God will not tolerate it (Romans 1:26-27).
If you agree that this “Shelter Pets” commercial is inappropriate, sign our petition urging Hill’s to pull this ad immediately and remain neutral in the culture war. And please share this with your friends and family.
