>What's /pol/'s opinion on prong collars?
PETA is fucking retarded. I have a real Bull Lurcher bred from strict hunting lines, from a hunting Mastiff/Lurcher kennel and I didnt use a prong collar on him, but I probably should have. Using a prong collar is 100% safer than getting a heavy duty collar and just using sheer brute force which is what I did.

They are only used for larger working breeds with strong drive though. Prong collars dont break skin, the dog breeds its used on have excess skin, thicker skin, and super dense musculature around the neck. It just puts pressure on them and they teach themselves to avoid the pressure by not pulling. Its safer than a heavy duty collar and using brute strength, because driven working breeds just wont stop. When my Lurcher goes into drive he will gladly hang himself from his entire body weight and just not give a single fuck, and he can go for minutes that way before he will heel.

My Lurcher has broken 3 auto retract leashes, there is no way a woman can handle a working mastiff or hunting dog in drive without a prong collar. Its easy for people with little ankle biter castle breeds or Retriever breeds to be against prong collars, but get a real working breed and get your shoulder dislocated and be sitting at the doctors office and ask yourself who is the more delicate animal.
