Monkeys in commericals

When I was a kid there were commercials for a Western US car dealer "Cal Worthington and his dog Spot" except spot never a dog and was instead a tiger, a seal, an elephant, a bear or a monkey. Ever notice we don't see monkeys or other animals in commercials like we did in the 70's and 80's? Is that because people are bored with animals, or that society doesn't like animals doing tricks for products or because there are less animals around to use on film, or they actually cost less than people actors?

I'm curious, what do you think?
