Make Verizon Accountable. Can They Hear Us Now?

Make Verizon Accountable

We, the undersigned, ask Verizon to show more compassion and thought
before promoting the negative perception of the breed used in their LD Dare commercial.

Verizon wireless states in their section regarding accountability,

"We take responsibility for our actions as individuals, as team members, and as an organization. We work together, support one another and never let the customer or our coworkers down.

Great companies are judged by what they do, not by what they say. To be the best, we're going to keep pushing ourselves in new and exciting directions. These values guide our every action."


Ivan Seidenberg
Chairman & CEO

We need to let them know that perpetuating a breed that is under attack, largly due to public misconception, should not be irresponsibly portrayed
in a commercial, further damaging their reputation.

In the early part of the twentieth century, pitbulls were regarded as heros and family dogs. They are very loyal and loving animals. It wasn't until a particular, unsavory sect, of our society started using these dogs as some sort of "bad boy" status symbol, that their inherent good quality's were diminished in favor of the vicious, fighting image they now have.

Please, help deliver the message to Verizon, that this is further tarnishing a wonderful breed of dogs reputation. These animals are under attack in many states who wish to ban the breed entirely.

This is unacceptable to those of us who believe that responsible pet ownership should be the target of legislation, not the breed.

Verizon needs to get the message loud and clear. Can they hear us now?

Thank you all, for your support.

I put this up on my ASPCA site under Pit Bull Form when I discovered this commercial. A friend of mine started the petition yesterday. Need to let Verizon Hear Us Now!

Please contact Verizon and let them know that we are counting on them to do the right thing. Not only should they pull the commercial - but they should replace it with an ad that focuses on the Vick dogs that are now doing therapy work.
As always, please be polite and courteous. Our dogs are counting on us to be their voice.
Here is a list of folks at Verizon you can contact.
