A circulating message claiming that people will get a R1 500 reward for capturing pit bulls or reporting households owning the breed, is nothing but a scam

A circulating message claiming that people will get a R1 500 reward for capturing pit bulls or reporting households owning the breed, is nothing but a scam, the NSPCA and the Sizwe Kupelo Foundation have warned.

Meanwhile Pit Bull owners argue that the ban is uncalled for and not all dogs are savage. They hold the belief that a dog’s behaviour is a reflection of its owner.
