Need your thoughts for Radio London, please, about PETA's 'Baby P' poster

This PETA poster has been put up in Haringey, the borough where Baby P lived, by PETA, which campaigns for animal rights.

BBC Radio London wants to know your take on this. Do you think shock tactics in ads are acceptable?

Thanks in advance

are they allowed legally to a convicted criminals picture up in an advert?

i think it panders to the torymail and redtop paper mentality.

Mawkish. Horribly so.

But I suppose they will be appeaking to a section of society they might not have before.

it wasn't what i expected,but good to see that he isn't being exploited by use of his picture. alot of people won't recognise who the man is.

although it is accurate I am not sure it is appropriate, it would make me wander off thinking about the evil things people do to each other and less about hurting animals - sorry

I don't like it. I appreciate the message needs to be shocking but just wish Baby P wasn't now being associated with Peta - or in fact, where do you draw the line associating him with any other semi relevant cause?
