>   Swoosh - Nike Misses the Hoop With Rottie/Pitt Fighting Ad
>
>In the ultimate of corporate irresponsibility Nike has unveiled a new ad
>hoping to cash in on the sale of athletic shoes by including a brief face-
>to-face with a Rottie and a Pitt posed to fight.
>
>When taken in context with the rest of the message it sends an extremely
>bad taste message to our younger generation that fighting dogs are
>somehow "cool". Even if you have small breed dogs - dog fighting affects
>all breeds as often times already abused shelter dogs are used as bait
>by dog fighters and are subjected to a horrible death.
>
>Please advise Nike that the only shoe they will see is the one's you plan
>on tossing in the trash along with their advertisement.   It's time to add
>NIke to the list of corporate boycotts.
>
>Please also advise Nike that to make amends Nike needs to release a
>public service message to correct the implications of all the damage
>dog fighting does to the animals involved.
>
>Of course with such a large corporation Nike might also be advised to
>make a contribution to an appropriate animal advocacy group that defends
>abused animals.
