 Wow....
NO Jaspersmom.
What I was comparing a correction collar to was the "risks" that it poses to your small dog when being used versus the risks involved w/ putting your dog on a two wheeled object being propelled down the street at an average speed of 45 mph. THAT's what I was referring to, were the RISKS people were willing to take w/ their dogs.
I'd think a car is far safer than a motorcycle...it's a traveling box w/ a limited travel if you got into an accident. A correction collar only really will hurt your small dog if it's used inappropriately PERIOD. A
Unlike a motorcycle where the variables have increased SIGNIFICANTLY. Where your contact w/ the ground at high speeds is only the circumfrence of a half dollar per wheel and now, if you were to get into an accident, your Yorkie would either be rolled up and dragged underneath you or equally bad your little one gets flug high (depending on if you lowsided or highsided, or someone hit you) and w/ an unlimted travel distance (not withstanding trees/curb/other cars and so on) at a high volocity. He simply would not survive this, but he might a car and or a correction collar. That was my point.
There are MANY people on this site that cringe and go "*gasp* OH! I would NEVER do" ", why risk it w/ my baby?!?" And here are a few that think that the high risk of motorcycle activity is cute and just fine....live life to the fullest. It makes no sense to me and I'm trying to figure it out.
SO, if anyone needs to post up a "confused smile", I suppose that'd really have to be me! But I think I've made my point just a tad more clear. |
