kris said:i thought this quote from hansard was particularly interesting :thumbsup: .
Electric shock collars teach an animal to respond out of fear rather than an actual willingness to obey. They do not address underlying behavioural problems, and may leave the causes of barking or aggression suppressed. Training a dog on the basis of fear poses the risk that at some time in the future it may turn on its owner or, God forbid, on an innocent child.
Sorry Kris
If you have to quote an MP you have no grasp of the situation, you just grab points to justify your limited knowlage of the situation.
This is one quote from one MP but to your detrement to dont put the counter aguments, maybe there wernt any but as you did not give a link ??????
I have a limited knowledg of these shock collars so would not make a judgement on what an MP says but what others who have used them say.
