As part of the promotions for Monster Week on Animal Planet, these ads by Sydney's March One agency also declare it to be "No Pet Week." In this print ad, you can see that either a beloved family cat or dog by the name of "Fluffy" has gotten into the clutches of a ferocious reptile and with its collar dangling from the mouth of the croc, it's certain that Fluffy is no more.
Although the animal looks pretty calm in this photo, it's apparent that it could absolutely rip you to shreds, like the deceptively still image of the crocodile could turn on you at any moment too. Animal Planet's Monster Week is set to begin on September 2nd of this year.
