The pace continues to gather in the world of politics for a ban on electric shock collars as the Kennel Clubs campaign reached a new milestone in Parliament today.

Working closely with the Kennel Club, Sarah McCarthy-Fry MP for Portsmouth North, saw the second reading of her Private Members Bill that proposed a ban on electric shock training devices.

Sarah McCarthy-Fry said: "I have a seven year old dog called Dudley, and I cannot imagine using an electric shock collar on him. These collars are barbaric; they train dogs to respond out of fear rather than a natural willingness to behave.

The second reading of the Bill has gained further strong cross party support for a ban, as is the political intention in Wales and Scotland, from Bob Spink MP (Conservative), Norman Baker MP (Liberal Democrats), and Sadiq Kahn MP (Labour) amongst others.
