Rejected petition BAN the use of prong/pinch collar & choke chain - Dogs dont need this abuse

BAN prong/pinch collars and choke chains whether it's a dog trainer or a dog owner. We need an outright ban on using these products and not to be sold online in the UK or destined for the UK. The metal spikes pinch the skin around dogs’ necks when they pull and can scratch or puncture them.

More details

The use of these collars has been associated with whiplash, fainting, spinal cord injuries leading to paralysis, or fracture of the bones in the larynx, dislocated neck bones, bruising of the esophagus, bruising and damage to the skin and tissues in the neck.
WE WISH AN OUTRIGHT BAN ON USE AND SELLING IN ANY WAY ON THE ABOVE ITEMS.
