Ban the use of choke and pronged collars on dogs

Petition Details

These collars are designed to control dogs by inflicting pain. There are many painless alternatives which makes this practice outdated. Please ban choke and pronged collars because their use can cause harm and is cruel and unnecessary punishment.

Additional Information

Choke and pronged collars can cause physical and emotional damage. Whiplash, puncturing the skin, spinal cord injuries and crushing the trachea are some examples. A dog, like a child, is totally dependent on it’s owner and their choices. Choosing to hurt the dog to correct it when there are other options must be considered inhumane. Please consider if, what amounts to torture of a dog, is acceptable in our society and should it be outlawed under the Animal Welfare Act
