Just a guess
What a horrible picture and what an awful thing to do to a dog (or any animal). However, I don't believe that what is pictured is actually a dog collar, although apparently some cruel SOB used it as one. I believe what we're looking at are tire chains that you can wrap on your tires in icy conditions.

Tire chains?
It is a prong/pinch collar, nasty device, those using them need to be subjected to one.

Did anyone bother to read this?
I am usually suspicious of these outrageous rabble rousing memes, and like to do a quick google to make sure I'm not just being a reactionary nut when I freak out.

dont even get me started.....
This picture is very misleading.... THIS DOES NOT happen by using his type of TRAINING COLLAR. This happens by leaving the collar on for week and months as the dog is growing.
and this does not happen by swinging the dog around with this collar.
This type of collar is a training collar... to be used in a training method or used for corrections... THATS IT...
this is one of the SAFEST collars to ever use on your dog as long as you know how to use it.
I have used these collars for years and never had a problem. what i have an issue is the effing retards out there that dont understand how to CORRECTLY train their dogs and understand k9 behavior.
I laugh at the fools who are using the choke collars as those are the most damaging collars out there...

No one reads anything anymore that goes against the point they are trying to make. Thank you for taking 5 seconds to research the facts. Used correctly as a training collar this is the best tool out there.
If it were to have come from the collar the dog would of had to been backing away, If a dog is pulling you the wounds would be on the underside of the neck. I have seen some pretty bad lacerations on a dogs neck from a fabric collar also. It was a little dog I found in the road and picked up to take to the vet to see if it was chipped. The vet tech told me they were not supposed to provide care for a stray but she cut the collar out anyway for fear it would get worse before someone tended to it.

that photo is NOT from the dog getting a correction from the collar.... if it was there would be bruising and soft tissue trauma.... this IS from the collar being left on and the dog growing and becoming embedded in the neck....
if you all knew how this collar worked you would know (use your detective skills) that when you give a correction to a dog with this collar it will be given to the UNDERSIDE of the neck as the link hooked to the collar would be on top of the neck... seeing that the wounds are mainly on the TOP SIDE OF THE DOGS NECK indicates that the collar has been left on and is too small for the dog. these collars should never be that tight as it is only used for a quick and fast motion in correcting the dog... the movement should never be a steady pull... they are short small leash "snaps" that SHALL NEVER fully engage the collar all the way tight.
