E-Collars and Podencos: Why We Must Push for the UK Ban
From a post by Bev Farmer of Podenco FriendsThe Use of E-Collars on Podencos: what are your thoughts about using them?
On the attached photo a question was put to a advocate of e-collars .. Why would you use E.Collar on a podenco that has been abused ? The answer was extremely disturbing. Please read the reply on the photo.

Dementia in dogs
Of all the dogs I have had in over 7 decades of my life, I have only had one with dementia. One was sadly stolen and never found; one young one was run over and killed; 3 were lost to cancer; one had dementia. The rest lived long and happy lives.
It was my borderline collie (99% border collie/1%spaniel) who developed dementia and it was upsetting to see. I’d find him standing still with no idea where he was, what direction to go in, straddling a low brick wall, snapping when caressed. He was in his teens by then, so it was part of the natural ageing process for him. In the end he became so confused it was kinder to comfort him as he was pts.
