I wish the RSPCA used this tactic here in Australia. When you consider what cats do to native wildlife (as in NZ), the actions of the feline sexual offenders has many unforseen consequences. GO KIWI SPCA!

FYI The influx of comments lately has come from the UK (via the b3ta.com newsletter). Cheers for the traffic dudes. I figured it was worth letting local readers know that. Seeing the ad out of context would make it easier to laugh at and b3ta.com’s content is clever and proudly crass. I guess they like their humour a bit blacker over there. Anyway, I’m going to close comments on this one off soon, so if you want to have a last word, do it soon.

I laughed at this poster. I laughed even more at the melodrama.

All the humourless prudes complaining about the ad. get a life. I actually was abused as a child and I find jokes on the subject even funnier. Noone ever said comedy had to be nice.

Well I thought it was amusing and apposite. Very good.

I see the hypersensitive idiots find their way into every crevasse. If you really think that someone who sees this ad will become desensitized to the rape of children or anything of the sort, do the world a favor and have yourself fixed. One of you is painfully, obviously enough.

I think countries that don’t take care of stray animals, and ensure they are kept alive and well keep until someone is willing to adopt them, shouldn’t have the right to ask people not to feed them.

I think this is a great ad! Clever, to the point, and viral – we’re talking about it, aren’t we?
The Kiwis aren’t going to be bothered, mainly because they’re not twats. Unlike us Brits more spend all our parliamentary time worrying about fox-hunting while people were planning to explode themselves on our underground.
It’s this kind of refreshing stuff that means I can’t wait ’til my 2 year work permit comes through.

This is terrible- trivialising rape and sexual abuse which is not comparable with not neutering a cat in any way.

Extremely offensive.Raping a human being is a lot more serious than abandoning a cat.Do I really have to say that? Seems some comments indicate I do.

@Joey, no I wouldn’t prefer it if they used Britney Spears- are those the only 2 options then?!

Great poster!

Anything to pop the po-faced knee-jerk tabloid “won’t somebody think of the children” reaction.

Learn to read and think.

the ad implies, at first, that there is someone who is raping babies.
that is disgusting.
as well as off-putting.
it was a bad decision to associate that implication with a charity i otherwise support
