As we step into a new year, we want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to every kennel, breeder, exhibitor, and supporter who has stood with us. Your trust, commitment, and passion for the American Bully breed are the foundation on which ABRSA continues to grow.

Thank you to those who believed in our vision, supported our events, upheld ethical breeding, and walked this journey with us, through the challenges and the victories. Every registration, every show, every message of support, and every act of loyalty has played a role in shaping who we are today.

We wish each and every one of you a year filled with health, success, growth, and blessings. May this coming year open doors to new opportunities, stronger unity, and even greater achievements. Together, we look forward to reaching new heights, strengthening our community, and continuing to strive for excellence in everything we do.

Here’s to another year of passion, progress, and purpose.

🦍Thank you for being part of the ABRSA family.🦍

✝️🎄 Merry Christmas from the ABRSA Team 🎄✝️
May you and your loved ones experience peace, joy, and the blessings of Christ this festive season and into the year ahead.

ABRSA PUBLIC NOTICE
NSPCA Photography at Shows – Your Legal Rights Regarding Social Media Posting

Dear ABRSA Members and Exhibitors,

This notice serves to clarify the legal position regarding the NSPCA taking photographs of dogs at shows and whether those images may be published on social media.

1. The NSPCA may take photographs for investigation purposes only. If they have cause to investigate!

Under the Animals Protection Act 71 of 1962, NSPCA inspectors are legally permitted to:

Attend shows,

Observe animals, and

Photograph dogs for the purpose of investigating possible offences, including the illegal practice of ear-cropping.

This is part of their statutory mandate and does not require consent from the owner when photographs are taken strictly for evidence or documentation.

2. The NSPCA may NOT post those photographs on social media without permission

Even though investigators may take photos, they are not allowed to publish them publicly on:

Facebook

Instagram

TikTok

Websites

Fundraising campaigns

Online articles

Awareness posts

Unless the owner has given clear, explicit written consent.

This is protected under the following principles:

POPIA (Protection of Personal Information Act)

Publishing photos of animals where the owner, kennel, or property can be identified is considered “processing personal information.”
➡️ This requires consent.

Common law rights to privacy and dignity

Individuals have the right to prevent unauthorised public use of their property, likeness, or identifiable assets.

NSPCA’s mandate does not include public publishing

Their powers extend to investigating, not advertising, shaming, or publicly displaying owners’ animals.

3. Posting images without consent is unlawful

If the NSPCA posts your dog’s photo publicly without permission, you are entitled to:

Demand immediate removal

Lodge a complaint under POPIA with the Information Regulator

Request a formal apology or correction

Seek damages if reputation, business, or kennel name is harmed

Report the conduct to ABRSA for support

This applies even if the dog is:

In public

Not suffering

Cropped

At a registered event

The legality of photographing for investigation does not automatically allow the NSPCA to publish those photographs.

4. ABRSA Position

ABRSA fully supports lawful welfare inspections carried out respectfully and professionally. However, we also defend the rights of our members regarding:

Privacy

Due process

Protection of kennel reputations

Prevention of unauthorised use of members’ dogs in public campaigns

We strongly advise all members:

Cooperate politely with lawful inspectors

Ask the purpose of photography

Request written confirmation if images will be used externally

Report any unlawful or unauthorised posting immediately to ABRSA

5. Need Assistance?

If you believe your dog’s image has been used without your consent—whether at a show, event, or inspection—please contact the ABRSA immediately for guidance and support.
