GoDaddy Will NOT Air “Lost Puppy“ Super Bowl Commercial

Follow @Nate_WekSDPB

GoDaddy will NOT be airing their lost puppy commercial this Sunday during the Super Bowl, because Animal Rights Activists say it portrays animal cruelty. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals jumped to Twitter saying "If you can buy a puppy online and have it shipped to you the next day, it's likely you're supporting inhumane breeding."

This Go Daddy Super Bowl ad was previewed recently on a talk show and after its viewing, social media uproar began. Go Daddy explains that this commercial was making fun of Budweiser’s Lost Puppy ad, another Super Bowl commerical that will air on Sunday.
