If shocking dog collars are considered abuse of animals?
Those things really hurt. (If you can not train your dog without using the pain is likely to only be getting a hamster and call it good.
I think that if something is hurting a dog or hurt a dog, would abuse. Animals should not have to deal with the pain to be trained. Edit – Yes, I have used one. He made it up, and gave me a jolt that hurt. Also, I saw my neighbor use it on your dog, pretty sure I do not enjoy the experience. Dogs are supposed to be man's best friend. They should not be hurt. They make mistakes, like people. Imagine going to work and get caught by your boss to do something wrong. It's no fun. The same goes for babies, people do not zap to throw food to the wall or cry. However, I admit, are sometimes necessary, as mentioned rattlesnakes. Everything just depends on how they are using and in use.
