BAN THE ELECTRIC DOG COLLAR IN THE UK

WALES HAS BANNED THE USE OF ELECTRIC SHOCK COLLARS ON DOGS! GREAT FOR DOGS IN WALES BUT WOULD'NT IT BE FANTASTIC TO SEE THEM BANNED IN THE REST OF THE UK. SHOCK COLLARS ARE CRUEL. INSTEAD OF USEING REWARDS AND PRAISE TO ENCOURAGE THE DOG TOWARDS GOOD BEHAVIOUR [TIME CONSUMEING BUT WORTH IT] A SHOCK IS USED TO CAUSE THE DOG DISCOMFORT , AT VARYING LEVELS, WHEN IT IS 'MISBEHAVES'. THIS IS LEARNING THROUGH FEAR & PUNISHMENT. NOT NICE AT ALL FOR THE DOG. MANY PEOPLE  USE THEM AND THEY ARE SOLD WITH NO THOUGHT TO THE NEGATIVE EFFECT ON DOGS OR LONG TERM SIDE EFFECTS. LET'S MAKE IT ILLEGAL IN THE UK TO USE THESE HORRID COLLARS TO CONTROL DOGS! PLEASE SIGN MY PETITION. TOGETHER WE CAN CONSIGN THEM TO HISTORY.  IF YOU HAVE A FACEBOOK ACCOUNT YOU ARE WELCOME TO JOIN 'BAN THE ELECTRIC SHOCK DOG COLLAR UK' GROUP.  THANKS FOR SIGNING!
