Ban Prong Collars and Shock Collars


Ban Prong Collars and Shock Collars
The Issue
The use of Prong Collars and Shock Collars for our animal companions is inhumane and should be considered a crime if used or sold. Quebec has now banned them from use. Please make these collars illegal in our Province as well.
PETA
The use of choke or Prong collars has been associated with whiplash, fainting, spinal cord injuries leading to paralysis, crushing of the trachea with partial or complete asphyxiation, crushing and/or fracture of the bones in the larynx, dislocated neck bones, bruising of the esophagus, bruising and damage to the skin and tissues in the neck, brain damage and prolapsed eyes caused by sharp increases in pressure in the head, and other injuries.
Humane Societies in Canada and the US
Choke and prong collars are designed to punish dogs for pulling by inflicting pain and discomfort. They can cause serious physical and emotional damage to dogs and should never be used.
