i believe that the evil is in the person and NOT the tool. Anything can be abused and misused. I mean a simple collar used to walk many dogs is frowned upon when used on smaller breed dogs. I think as long as intentions are good choke chains are fine. I wouldn't use them on my dogs (i've had three german shepherds about 7 years ago, and have a lab/bordercollie now), but thats my personal preference. i wouldnt object to someone else's choice- given non-misuse on their part
