We would like to see it made illegal to use any form of coercive or punitive techniques and equipment including, pinch collars, electric shock collars, or any other equipment which may cause physical or psychological damage to any animal. This being inline with The States of Jersey Dog Training Welfare Code which also states "The code of practice takes account of 5 basic needs, known as the ‘5 Freedoms’. The ‘5 Freedoms’ are: freedom from hunger and thirst freedom from discomfort freedom from pain, injury or disease freedom to express normal behaviour freedom from fear or distress" And also inline with the Animal Welfare (Jersey) 2004 Law, section 4, which states: (1) It shall be an offence for a person to cruelly beat, kick, cut, impale, burn, stone, crush, drown, drag, asphyxiate, over-drive, overload, over-ride, torture, worry, infuriate, terrify, ill-treat or do any like act to any animal. (2) It shall be an offence for a person, without reasonable cause or excuse, to do or omit to do any act so as to cause unnecessary suffering to a domestic animal or captive animal. (3) It shall be an offence for a person to convey or carry any domestic animal or captive animal in such manner or position as to cause the animal unnecessary suffering. (4) It shall be an offence for a person to tether any domestic animal or captive animal under such conditions or in such manner as to cause the animal unnecessary suffering. (5) If, on the trial of the owner or a person having care of a domestic animal or captive animal charged with an offence under paragraph (2), (3) or (4) in respect of that animal, the court or jury, as the case may be, is of the opinion that the accused is not guilty of that offence but is guilty of an offence under Article 5 then, without prejudice to any other powers of the court, the accused may be found guilty of an offence under Article 5. We would like to see it as an offence for any person to be in possession of, or use, any form of pinch or shock collar, or any other equipment which may cause physical or psychological damage to an animal.
