Packaged for the purpose of being a training aid to deter your dog from doing bad things!! There is a picture of a garbage can with a trap on top, then a picture of a couch of a trap there and it shows a dog getting snapped and not liking it. WTF??? And the worst part is that it was the last one left! That means people were actually buying this!

I was pissed! Actually I was sick, I walked around the store, thinking how awful that was, I put all of my merchandise back. I was extremely tempted to pick up that bag and take it to the manager and ask why the hell they promote animal abuse??? But, I know that manager has nothing to do with what is on their floor and he would just put it back on the shelf once I left anyway, so I didn't. I decided if someone needs to be cussed out, it is some corporate person right? So I did leave there thinking they are not getting a dime of my money. And I AM going to complain to someone atleast in an email.

Now, you guys tell me, what you think of this...
That can do serious damage to a dog or child if it touches it. It can break a finger I believe on an adult for crying out loud.
Can you contact your local authorities ie SPCA or Animal control? Media such as newspapers, local TV stations etc, your city or town hall as this is very dangerous.
