If they only had half the compassion for unborn babies that they do for dogs, it would be a whole new world.
What about garbagemen, fireworks, lawn mowers, postmen, and the cat next door?
I figured PETA had these banned years ago.
One of my favorite stories was when I was in high school and had a weekend job at an answering service. These were with the old fashioned cordboards (remember Lily Tomlin on Laugh-In?) and one of their clients ran an ad in a hunting magazine for a “bark collar”. The battery-powered collar gave off a small shock to the nexk whenever the dog barked and it was meant to train the dog not to bark unless they had a damn good reason to.
The ad had an 800 number and, after hours, it rang my switchboard. The only info I had about this was the text included in the tiny magazine ad.
One night, the line rings. A fellow asks me a question:
“Will this work on my cougar?”
I asked why he wanted this for his cougar. He says it’s because the cougar keeps pulling down his drapes.
Being a smart-ass high school kid I replied, “Well, if your cougar barks like a dog when in pulls down your drapes, this should work for you but, if it doesn’t, I wouldn’t recommend this product.”
The customer thanked me and hung up. Later, I was reprimanded for “talking smart” to customers.
Don’t forget trash bags.
My cats take off running whenever I change a trash bag.
Guess their logic is that ANYTHING that goes in the bag ‘ain’t never seen again’ and the bag goes out the door never to be seen again.
Makes sense....
Tuesday that it had stopped selling all electronic shock collars,...etc...
= = = = = = = = =
Give them ‘credit’ on two points.
They didn’t say ‘effective NOV 2025’ we will stop selling them and didn’t say ‘if THEY stop, we will stop’.
My my, how we have changed I grew up and dogs had ‘freedom’ took a crap in anothers yard or field, neighbors dog/cat did the same etc
I just saw a Judge Judy rerun where a guy sued his neighbor (AND WON) because the neighbors dog kept peeing in/on his lawn and JJ Surmised that the dog was leaving a calling card thereby inviting other dogs to ‘check it out’ and the neighbor had to pay to reseed and sod etc etc.
Like we say, if the modern day Martians land and observe ‘you’ walking your dog and cleaning up after them, why would anyone dispute who is REALLY in ‘charge’?
I guess this nixes electronic fences. Better to have the dog run into the road and get squashed. /s
That’s alright. Shock jocks work even better.
That's a no Brainerd. There's no good reason to ever subject an animal to that. It's torcher.
So no more Invisible Fence?
Shock collars work. My Silki and Yorki run into the woods and Could be eaten by a raccoon or coyote.
Thats ridiculous. Collrs for wireless invisible fence is the best thing I ever bought for my dogs. They are ALWAYS at home now and not out getting into neighbors trash or barking at people sitting in tree stands.
Incidentally, I live in zip code E-I-E-I-O. AND wouldnt want to live anywhere else!
Is Petco also going to ban cats and squirrels?
Liberals, lecturing others on how they follow science (probably because it feels good to say that) but they disregard science and follow their feelings instead.
Accused dogfighting ringleader arrested, seven dogs rescued
Check out his record. This guy was running around loose. And now he's free on bail.
An invisible fence for a dog is much more humane than locking the dog in a crate all day.
Here in California people are not going to give up things on kink night no matter what.
Now they should ban selling dogs. Because frankly, nothing says fear and trauma like being locked up in a cage alone all day, waiting for some human to show up at night and take you for a 10-minute walk.
Some in San Francisco like the shock collars... for themselves and friends.
