Gendal and those who support her call this training.  If you believe that no animal should be struck for any reason, please sign here and also contact the following officials and urge them to charge Lila Gendal with cruelty to animals (under FL Statute 828.12), and do what they can to make sure she can no longer work with or harm animals ever again.
