Ban the use of prong collars and pain inflicting devices and training methods

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The use of prong collars has shown to inflict pain on dogs, we should not be using pain as a method of training. All devices such as prong collars should be banned along with other devices and training methods that inflict pain upon animals.
The government has recently made it illegal to use shock collars in dogs, devices such as prong collars are as dangerous for the wellbeing of the dog.
