Cansa SA responds
This campaign has unfortunately been arranged by our Polokwane branch without knowledge or approval from our head office, which we only discovered once the article appeared in the Review yesterday. Subsequently from our head office Marketing’s side we are trying to get the articles removed. We have urgently ensured that this and further events of this nature is cancelled with immediate effect in Polokwane. We have also sent out an urgent notice to all staff that this type of event will not be allowed.
POLOKWANE – Community mobiliser for CANSA Polokwane, Corné Marais, says the idea of arresting dogs instead of people is a fun way to get one’s friends involved by impounding their dogs or cats to raise money for Cansa.
“The money we raise during these events is being used for a variety of things. We are constantly busy making your world a better place around you,” she says.
How the Jail and Bail will work:
You will get a friendly phone call from a very friendly person, telling you your dog is going to be impounded unless you pay an amount. You have 48 hours to deposit the money into Cansa’s bank account. If not, your poor dog or cat will sit in a “jail” until you do.
*Please note, the dogs will be kept at House Angels’ Shop in Eduan Park shopping centre and each animal will be treated with love and looked after as if they’re in their owner’s care.
If you can think of a friend who’s dog is in need of bit of fun, you can Contact Corné Marais at Cansa on 015 297 1268
The Jail and Bail began on Thursday, 25 May and will run till further notice.
