Durban Attack
We have been made aware of the attack in Durban, and we are aware that certain media houses have jumped onto the pit bull bandwagon yet again.
The SAPS have stated publicly that the breed is in fact unknown. ( https://www.facebook.com/126000862453/posts/10160570072977454/)
Should you encounter any media report stating it was a pit bull, we ask you to screenshot the article with the journalists name, along with a screenshot to the link above, and then lodge a formal complaint at the Press Council ( details in the photo below).
There is no longer place for sensationalist tabloid reporting that unleashes mayhem on society. The media have a duty to report accurately and fairly, and it is the duty and responsibility of the journalist to report facts.
Dog bites are not taken seriously because the victims story becomes clickbait, and the real issues get lost along the way. No more.
