What do you guys think of this?

Let's see what you guys think and then I'll know if I am overreacting or not...

Today I went into Petsmart looking for cute stuff for my secret exchange buddies. Then over by the training area there is a stand of things. There is a bag of 3 MOUSE TRAPS! 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...

:mad: That is terrible!! We go to PetsMart on Saturdays for Jack's training and I will look and see if they have it. If they do, I will take it up to the store manager and get the corporate number and lodge a major complaint.
Thanks for the heads up. If pet owners don't complain then things won't be changed.

I would have bought it then called the manufacturer and said a couple of choice words to them:mad: :mad: It is a form of abuse !!!!!

ANDREA~:(

I found this site on line.

I didn't realize that there was another piece they want you to attach to it, it looks like a paddle. They say it is not dangerous. I feel better about it.

Not a good idea when you are trying to win the confidence and trust of a dog! A definite no no for any type of training in my opinion.:mad:

[lilybellesmom]

That is no way to control unwanted behavior in a pet:( .

Even though I looked at that website, it still looks dangerous.

I wouldn't use them on my pets, I don't like the Idea of them at all. I wouldn't mind one for in my fridge, so when I buy myself some treats and my kids try to steal them, they will get a good shock:tongue6:

[Kanga]

Still, even after checking out the site I don't like it.

I hope the inventor tested it on himself and didn't use his pooch as the tester:(

[maltesemum]

I wouldn't use it on my pets either but like Bek i wouldn't mind one for the skin kids:tongue6: I could shop 7 days a week if they had their way:D

I think the water spray would be just as effective!!
