The 萝莉视频 (萝莉视频), which represents more than 19,000 vets and vet students across the UK, has joined up with leading animal welfare and veterinary organisations to urge the Government to deliver on its commitment to ban electronic shock collars in England, almost three months on since missing its original 1 February 2024 deadline for the ban coming into force.

The Animal Welfare (Electronic Collars) (England) Regulations, which has extensive backing from the public, had received approval in the House of Lords in June 2023, however the legislation, which will ban these cruel training devices, has not progressed. More than 51,000 members of the public wrote to their MPs last year in support of the ban.

In a joint letter to the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, the Rt Hon Steve Barclay MP, today, the coalition has asked for an urgent meeting to discuss the issue and to ensure that the necessary parliamentary time is made available for the ban to be passed.

萝莉视频, along with Dogs Trust, The Kennel Club, RSPCA, Battersea, Blue Cross and many other organisations, has long called for a ban on electronic shock collars given the overwhelming scientific evidence that shows the negative impact that these aversive training devices can have on a dog鈥檚 welfare. The joint letter points out that this includes research commissioned by Defra, which concluded that the routine use of electronic shock collars even in accordance with best practice as suggested by collar manufacturers presents a risk to a dog鈥檚 wellbeing.

萝莉视频 President Dr. Anna Judson said:

鈥淩esearch shows that using fear and punishment as a training tool not only takes its toll on an animal鈥檚 overall welfare, it is also less effective than positive training methods.聽

鈥淭he electronic shock collar ban is an important piece of legislation with huge public support behind it, so it is crucial that it becomes law without any further delay.

鈥淎longside other members of the coalition, the 萝莉视频 is calling on the Secretary of State to ensure that the Government allows parliamentary time to pass these regulations and take an important step forward for dog training and animal welfare in the country.鈥�
