why the belt - okay, ist may be used for abuse ...
but why the soccer field?
he's outside, where he can run and play, and he's licking himself. also, he has the field to himself because nobody wants to jump from a cliff to fetch the ball. verdict: this dog has a sweet deal, not abused.

its not a belt, its a dogs collar. you can see the stud thing.
striking visual, kinda funny cos you can feel yourself running up to kick it. guess thats the idea.

Great idea

your dog is not a soccer ball. that is the idea. don´t kick him. same logic with the others
Yep. It's a very simple visual metaphor, nothing more. No need to read too much into it. While there are many different forms of animal abuse, this more prevalent sadistic way to treat a pet just registers quicker and stronger than the other two in the campaign.

Stop the abuse? Thats so ad language it makes me sick. Message is important, don't speak that bullshit ad language, it does not move anyone anymore. Important message need better copy. And so not so "good" ad.
I DO agree with that comment actually.
"Stop the abuse" just sounds a bit too...laconic? It feels completely devoid of any emotion as it is. I think it can be better crafted.
Is that a dog collar or a belt? Not a very good ad, the dogs licking himself....

I couldn't tell it was a dog at first -.-'

i like it and good photography nice HDR sets
