Many people have got in touch with me recently about the Government’s proposed ban on electric shock collars for dogs. As an animal lover myself, it is my firm belief that the UK should lead the world in animal welfare standards which would mean no animal would be made to endure unnecessary suffering.
All pets deserve the utmost protection, and I’m pleased that the legislation introduced has been approved by the House of Lords. However, I’m also pleased that there will be an exemption for those with protected characteristics who have a legitimate need to use collars that produce sounds, vibrations, and other non-shock signals.
