The use of electric shock to make horses run faster is not only cruel and unethical, but also expressly prohibited in many countries and regions. Electric shock can cause great pain and psychological trauma to horses, which is a serious violation of the principles of animal welfare. As a perceptual life, horses should be respected and treated well. ### Why is electric shock undesirable? 1. **Animal welfare**: Electric shock can cause severe pain, fear and long-term psychological stress in horses, which may cause stress reactions, injuries and even death. 2. **Legal risks**: Animal protection laws in most countries strictly prohibit unnecessary suffering to horses, and violators may face legal sanctions (such as fines, imprisonment, or industry bans). 3. **Sports ethics**: The core of horse racing or equestrian sports is the cooperation and trust between humans and animals. Abuse of violence can destroy this relationship and violate the spirit of sportsmanship. 4. **Actual effect**: Electric shock may stimulate the horse to accelerate in the short term, but in the long term it will cause the horse to resist training, unstable performance, and even increased aggressiveness. ### How to scientifically improve horse performance? -**Health management**: Ensure balanced nutrition, regular veterinary examinations, and adequate rest. -**Positive training**: Build trust through reward mechanisms (such as food, stroking) and gradually improve athletic ability. -**Environmental optimization**: Provide comfortable stables and safe training venues to reduce stressors. -**Professional guidance**: Cooperate with experienced horse trainers to develop personalized training plans. ### Call for responsibility and respect If you witness or suspect that someone is mistreating a horse, please report it to your local animal protection organization or law enforcement immediately. It is our common responsibility to promote the industry to treat animals in a more humane manner. (Note: The position of this article is based on scientific consensus and animal ethics.
