According to the For Dazzle site, Dr Hackett is testifying today. Knows Watts professionally from Cornell so she can testify to her reasoning in the use of the hot shot.
Highlights shared so far is that a horse’s vulva isn’t particularly sensitive as compared to other parts of the body. Implys she’s used a hot shot therapeuticly (?) on a pt with radial nerve injury. Says it’s not abuse and that a hot shot is like using a dog shock collar. Again calls the use of the hot shot “taps” as training and “natural horsemanship”.
My comment: excuse me, but we got rid of electro therapy use in people a long time ago for a reason. No one on earth would ever dream of shocking a person 800 times over the course of two hours and get away with calling it medically justified or behavior training.
