Yes! Exactly.

At the end of the day, like lots of equipment they are designed to cause at the least discomfort, and they should be banned preferably.

Are they ever suitable for pet owners - no. Are they ever suitable as a training aid full stop - no. Is it ever right to use a device of any description to deliberately inflict discomfort/pain on any other living creature - no.
