- Reposted by Helen McCabeDogs shouldn't be electrocuted. Tomorrow we're giving MSPs the chance to vote to ban electric shock dog collars in Scotland. Tell the Scottish Government to follow the recommendation of its own Animal Welfare Commission and support a ban on these cruel devices. 👇
- Reposted by Helen McCabeElectric shock collars are cruel devices that cause dogs pain and fear. On Thursday Scottish Green MSP @ross-greer.bsky.social will bring a vote to criminalise their use. You can help us ban them for good, but we need to act fast. 👇 www.greens.scot/banshockcollars
