Electric Shock Collars

EDM number 1570 in 2005-06, proposed by Tony Baldry on 06/02/2006.

That this House condemns the sale and use of remote control electric shock collars to train and control dogs; considers the use of such devices to be cruel and unnecessary; understands that alternative positive training methods produce dogs which are trained more quickly and reliably with no potential for abuse or cruelty; recognises that because dogs are highly reactive to learning experiences and have a strong bond with humans that their natural instincts can be utilised to train them easily; and calls upon the Government to introduce a complete ban on the sale and use of electric shock collars as part of the Animal Welfare Bill.

This motion has been signed by a total of 110 MPs.
