Vanessa Casey: \u201cI do not think it was in bad taste or shameful, it is a very clever campaign that brought the issue out in the open. Made people wake up to the fact that dog fighting is a cruel horrible thing (can\u2019t call it a sport) it exists and is growing. Now maybe people will sit up and take note and report it if they see something. Maybe people will stop advertising animals \u2018free to good homes\u2019. It is known that dog fighters get their bait from these types of adverts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pieter Brits Pitbulzn: \u201cVery bad taste!\u201d<\/p>\n

Peer Rademeyer: \u201cShameful!\u201d<\/p>\n
