RETA blasts Zac Efron – He appeared in an ad with a bear in captivity! – Watch the video

PETA is blasting Zac Efron after he appeared in an ad campaign with a bear that has spent its entire life in captivity, TMZ reports.

The organization is urging the actor to come down to earth and recognize that the bears belong in their families and not on the screen, according to Debbie Metzler, PETA’s director of captive animal welfare. The bear ‘Tank’ was born in captivity and taken from a breeder at just 6 weeks old.

Kodiak Cakes is partnering with Zac Efron, where proceeds from its products will go directly to the Vital Ground Foundation, a non-profit organization that protects grizzly bear populations through its programs.

PETA, however, hit back at the commercial, saying: “It is hypocritical to exploit one animal to help another. No true conservation group would ever force captive animals to perform tricks for the camera in order to raise public awareness of their wild counterparts.”
