This is a perfect example what happened when an agency tries to translate copy into english for an international audience. I guess they used Google Translate without verifying.
It is a pity because the three ads a good.
They are from the Brazilian Forum Nacional de Proteção e Defesa Animal (FNDPA).
Message is clear: Our animals are valuable, just like money.

Ad 3: Our animals are dying.
Who goes to pay this bill?
