1. Cats and kittens, too. Never advertise "free" pets.

3. Why not use the humans who would use a dog, cat, or kitten instead.
Humans make great shark bait. Yes, I'm kidding but you know, humans are a disgusting lot sometimes.

5. The article lists several European animal protection organizations including
the Bridgette Bardot foundation...Maybe you could check there.

It's certainly a hideous, sadistic practice.
