NSPCA probing dog fighting ad
Updated | By JacarandaFM News
The National Council of SPCAs (NSPCA) is investigating a company who has been seen advertising pit bull fights.
The ad with the number of the company was spotted in the streets of northern Johannesburg on Monday morning.
Dog fighting is illegal in South Africa. Owners who allow their dogs to fight, and even the spectators attending the fight, could face prosecution.
A senior inspector at the NSPCA, Wendy Wilson, said dog fighting is growing in South Africa.
"Not only does it have a horrific impact on the animals involved, but it has a horrific on the communities involved - the children, the people and South Africa as a whole. It indicates a decaying society," Wilson said.
When JacarandaFM News phoned the number, a recording said they were experiencing a high number of calls.
They could not be reached for comment at the time of publication.
