'I will take dead body and put it on Gove's desk'

English dog and cat owners could be banned from using shock collars to train their pets after Environment Secretary Michael Gove launched a consultation to potentially ban the 鈥減unitive devices".

While some charities back the move, commentator Quentin Letts told Daily Politics presenter Jo Coburn how a previous pet died after a road accident, adding: "If one of our little dogs gets run over, I am going to take its dead body and put it on Michael Gove's desk."

He added that the proposed ban in England - already enforced in Wales and about to be introduced in Scotland, was a "rotten, illiberal and life-ruining and life-decreasing law".
