Kia blasted for turtle commercial

This picture taken on October 18, 2018 shows newborn green turtles heading to the sea after being released from a protected area on Thameehla Island. - Peril plagues the young life of a baby turtle in Myanmar; if the crabs don't get them before they scramble from the beach to the sea, poachers or fishing trawlers may do - while habitat destruction also decimates their numbers. Myanmar's waters boast five of the world's seven sea turtle species, including the critically endangered hawksbill, the endangered green turtle as well as the olive ridley, leatherback and loggerhead turtles, all listed as vulnerable.

Quite a 40-second commercial Kia has put together.
