An excerpt of the AVSAB's letter and reason for their petition

"The executive board of the American Veterinary Society of Animal
Behavior is deeply troubled to learn that Merial, a leader in the
veterinary healthcare industry, is using Cesar Millan in a
promotional campaign for Heartgard and Frontline. We are even more
disturbed to find that Merial is cross-promoting Mr. Millan's
behavior video as part of this campaign. Merial's executives may not
be aware of the fact that the American College of Veterinary
Behaviorists (ACVB), the American Veterinary Society of Animal
Behavior (AVSAB) and the Society of Veterinary Behavior Technicians
(SVBT) have uniformly spoken out against the punishment-based
techniques employed by Mr. Millan on his television show "The Dog
Whisperer." "
