Sexual assault support group RAINN (the Rape, Abuse, Incest National Network), have heavily criticised Maroon 5's 'Animals' video.

For those who haven't seen it, they aren't wrong to be pointing fingers, with the video portraying Adam Levine as a stalker. In it, he follows a woman around the city, climbs into bed with her while she sleeps, hangs around (and cuddles) slabs of meat and covers himself in blood.

Basically it's beyond creepy.

The organisation stated: "Maroon 5's video for "Animals" is a dangerous depiction of a stalker's fantasy -- and no one should ever confuse the criminal act of stalking with romance. The trivialization of these serious crimes, like stalking, should have no place in the entertainment industry. Survivors everywhere can get help 24/7 through the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1.800.656.HOPE and online.rainn.org."
