In 2002, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA), Victoria lost a defamation lawsuit to Orion Pet Products, a shock collar manufacturer, and was ordered to pay $100,000 in damages. The RSPCA had falsely claimed that shock collars can cause burns and delivered 3,000 volt shocks to dogs. They made the "fanciful claim" that the current from a shock collar had caused a 60 kilogram dog to perform backflips and resulted in brain damage. Justice Weinberg also found that the RSPCA claims that these collars caused epileptic fits, vomiting, seizures, burning and bleeding were misleading. The RSPCA's senior inspector had falsified evidence in an attempt to demonstrate that shock collars can cause burns.
