Don't try to con intelligent people. Keep that game private.

Whips and meat sticks are not bad, unless the person welding them is bad. I suggest we show how they are used, as a equestrian would use spurs/bit instead of this "politically correct" con of the gentle/no whip method of training. Note how many times the hands are used to hit or push away the young animals at the start of this video. Call an animal to you and then push them away? When it attempts to acknowledge you as it would a member of it's species, slap it on the nose? Use the "bad whip and stick" as it becomes an adult? If you know what it is, respect the intelligence of of the public to accept that. Educate them don't try to bluff them or con them. The tools of the trade are no worse then a leash. Unless it is used to jerk a domestic animal off it's feet.
