Recently a news has been speculated across the social media’s regarding dogs that were being trained by their trainers in such a way that is too painful for most of us to watch. (i.e ; choking, kicking, being dragged, hanged, electric shock collar etc) and on top of that some dogs will have the electric shock collar? How absurd is that? 

Unfortunately, it is not prohibited here in Singapore, as you can refer this at Ministry of National Development page :

Why i have come forward to write this? 
I can no longer sit down and watch the poor dogs being mistreated in such a way. Feeling “helpless” and not doing anything won’t get me anywhere. It would be very devastating for the dog owners to watch their dogs being trained in such a way. We as a community can work on this together, slowly but surely our voice can be heard. If humans like us cannot bare the pain what more the fur babies? Are they not a living thing? I believe there is so many ways to educate and to train them. Therefore the use of this electric shock collar should be banned. Even if their methods are “transparent” that doesn’t mean their methods are humane ways to train the dogs. 

How sure are we that they are not being misused? It creates nothing but fear, anxiety and aggression. There are humane ways to train the dogs that doesn’t involve force or pain. 

I do not own any dogs but as a pet owner myself these methods of training is inhumane and i’m against it. By signing and spreading this petition, we hope that we can be heard by the authorities. 
Animals are living things too.
