http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/03/26/herman-cain-kills-a-bunny-in-new-ad/A little girl places a bunny on a catapult and says something like "this is small business". Then she launches it in to the air, and says "this is small business under the current tax code". And then a young man with a shotgun shoots the rabbit in the air (like skeet shooting). The little girl then says "any questions?" Then theres a greenscreen shot of Herman Cain off in the distance, standing atop a CGI mountain looking over into a CGI valley and we hear the ominous sound of a gun cocking. A logo for SOS (Sick of Stimulus) is shown.
The rabbit isn't really launched on the catapult or shot, that part is all CGI. I doubt any animals were harmed in making the ad.
But still... Herman Cain wants you to associate him with animal cruelty.... even if it is make believe animal cruelty.

He should be shunned.

in.

A month ago he released an ad where it was a little girl killing a goldfish. I realize it's CGI and not images of actual animal abuse but I think the man needs help.
