To ban the sale and use of prong/pinch collars on dogs.

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

Prong (sometimes known as pinch) collars are used to 'train' a dog to behave in the way the owner wishes. Metal barbs on the inside of the collar dig into the dogs skin around its neck, causing pain and injury. This practice is torturous for the dog and completely unnecessary.

Please read the RSPCA blog for more information...thanks for signing.
