Over 200 pages and 2000 posts - think it's time to close this thread.
Don't worry, it's not going to end here - everyone who took part will know 2000 posts doesn't equal a 'hot' debate. But merely one person (who has a financial interest in them) trying to argue that electric shock collars are not actually cruel. Pretty much everyone else seems to disagree. (We can ignore the off-topic prong-related posts for now - we'll deal with them later
)
A summary thread will be put up at some point asking people how they would summarise this thread - a link to the summary thread will then be inserted into the first post of this thread... so people don't have to trawl through thousands of posts to get a gist of it, or take my word for it.
Thanks to everyone who took part, this thread played a key role in our decision to:
- Place a partial ban on the talk of electric shock collars (debate is fine, but recommending them on unsuspecting owners is not! See the full details here.
- Consider adding prong collars to the ban - see here.
- Look at our rules governing 'commercial' accounts
