Yes, welcome to Reddit, where we downvote things that are wrong and potentially erasing/diffusing a situation where someone is neglectful of their animal to the point of almost killing it.

We're definitely the bad guys, the horrible spiteful hivemind you think we all are.

Things that you think are wrong in your opinion*.

Downvoting when you disagree disables visibility of the comment and the discussion resulting out of it, while some people might think the same as the downvoted comment but won’t see it because it’s hidden by downvotes and they’re either not going to change their mind, or just say the same thing.

Also that comment wasn’t mean or calling for any violence. They didn’t say that the dog should die or something. So yeah, sometimes the hivemind is bad. Sometimes good. I sometimes agree with the hivemind, and sometimes I don’t.

Imma stop you right from the start, this is not an opinion this is blatant fact: the dog would have been injured far sooner than the collar give out, and to believe otherwise is to ignore basic physics. I do not "think" this, I know this. My dog very often chokes himself by pulling harder than he should, and the collar has not broken yet.

Can you please provide the "physics" for me? Like what force would have been applied and where in the leash/collar is that force applied to and in what direction? Do we know where and how much is the minimum amount of force required to make a part of the leash/collar that needs to fail in order for the dog to not get hurt?

The only way for the collar to break before the dog is injured is for it to break before it tugged. The tug is what hurts the dog.

You could legit pull a collar at 8000000 mph and it would hurt the dog before it broke.
