Why aren't shock collars illegal?!

Quite simply, why?

I knew they existed, but until today I hadn't seen one. Was in a park with a friend and she pointed it out and my blood boiled. They seemed like 'decent' people, but I guess you never know.

Anyway, they are completely inhumane, as are choke collars.

Why haven't they been banned?!

They are banned from Feb next year.

Definitely?

Completely agree they are vile and I really hope the other poster is correct that they're being banned

They are in Wales.

@tooearlyforthis98 me too. It's utterly barbaric.

Are you sure it was definitely a shock collar? Some people have ones that beep or sometimes beep & vibrate in response to barking.
