Pet shock collar ban petition hits 1,000 mark

An animal charity's petition calling for pet shock collars to be banned on the Island has hit 1,000 signatures.

The ManxSPCA launched the change.org petition last year, saying the electric collars are cruel.

It's asking people to support its campaign to follow in the steps of England, Wales and Scotland and outlaw their sale, possession, and use on the Isle of Man.
