Federal & B.C. Provincial Ban Shock Collar Petitions
CALLING ON ALL ANIMAL LOVERS!
We are asking for help with two petitions calling for a ban on shock collars. Please print, sign, share & return these petitions. Legal does not mean safe or humane. Help save defenceless animals from being electrically shocked.
Decades of studies clearly conclude shocking animals can cause profound psychological and physical damage, both in the short and long terms. The least effective way to train and contain animals is with shock collars. The most effective way to train animals is with patience, repetition, kindness & rewards. No longer can shock promoters pedal the fallacy that shock devices are safe, humane and harmless. It is proven that these devices are cruel and unnecessary. As long as people ignore the science and experts and continue to use shock collars animals will continue to suffer. Those choosing to use shock on their pets are exposing them to unnecessary pain and suffering. Those who wish to see these barbaric devices banned are encouraged to sign, gather signatures and share the petitions. We can stop this but it will take all of us, not just to shake our head in disapproval but to act.
"Everyone can make a difference, and everyone should try" - John F. Kennedy.
We are sincerely grateful for your compassion and support.
