the night hunter 130 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-14181927 All the money spent on testing theset things to make sure they are safe and humane. then 1 persons opinion reverses all of of that and its an out right ban. then somenone gets a fine of £2,000.00 for trying to keep his dog 'safe'. i bet he would have got the fine if the dog jumped over the fence and caused a major car crash. or done for neglect when the cranky colie eventually broke its neck. dont get this country sometimes! RSPCA inspector Nic De Celis said after the case:(AKA the cun*) "It's gratifying to see that this new legislation really works and is making a difference to animal welfare in Wales. seriosly fuc* off!

Nik_B 3,790 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 RSPCA and a bunch of freaks. This happened in Wales though and they are banned there. What is worse punishing a dog for misbehaving or not recalling?? or being like so many park dog owners who have an animal that is completely out of control once of the lead. I despair!!

I agree, its the same old senario the fools end up ruining it for the dedicated people who really do understand the concept of correcting a dog. I think there a cracking tool, in the right hands and in this case it seems it was being used to possibly save the life of the dog and to stop it causing a serious accident. Does this also mean the ban of the Electric fence in Wales?? Very hypocritical if not. ATB D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trenchfoot 4,243 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 I don't have a problem with appropriate use a shock collar. In the right hands and right circumstances they can be literally life savers (explain that to the yogurt nitters!). However hes obviously had the collar for a while on this dog, If it keeps escaping, and or ignoring it then its not working. Which should have been a signal to try and find other methods of containing or training the dog. For 2 grand he could have built a decent fence, or that most complex of devices, a bloody chain!

russellcur 15 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 That's just shocking Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 From what I read about the case the dog was often seen running loose about the place with the collar on. I believe he had one of these virtual electric fences set up which set the collar off if it went past a certain boundary, it obviously didn't work. I've nothing against the correct use of a shock collar, but IMO they should only be used for specific purposes, not as a general training aid for pets.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lurchergrrl 1,441 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 There's nothing cruel or inhumane about shock collars. It's stoopid, untrained humans who operate them that are the problem. They've wrecked it for everybody else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
