You're way off-base there...
1) You do understand the difference between human beings and animals, don't you?

2) It was an Internet ad, launched on Facebook, and in Israel (and in English, besides). This wasn't some local newspaper running an ad in an isolated culture the world at large wasn't supposed to see.

The only way the ad could've been more vicious and demeaning would be if it was directed at a specific woman in particular.
