2024年4月3日，新加坡国家发展部长李智陞在国会上关于动物训练设备的指导原则的发言。
以下内容为新加坡眼根据国会英文资料翻译整理：
黄国光（义顺集选区）先生问国家发展部长，国家公园局（NParks）即将发布的关于使用不良动物训练设备的风险指导原则中，是否考虑禁止使用电击项圈。
国家发展部长兼主管社会服务整合事务部长李智陞：将发布的关于使用包括电击项圈在内的恐吓式动物训练装置的指导方针，旨在强调使用此类装置的风险，并推荐社区采用良好的训练方法。因此，该指导方针不会对使用此类装置施加任何限制。
指导原则发布后，国家公园局将继续监测情况，再决定是否需要采取进一步措施。尽管如此，如果动物训练设备给动物造成不必要的疼痛或使动物遭受不必要的痛苦，国家公园局将继续调查并采取执法行动，并提高人们对动物训练时应该采取侵入性最小、不良程度最低方式的认识。
以下是英文质询内容：
Mr Louis Ng Kok Kwang asked the Minister for National Development whether a ban of remote electric shock collars is being considered in the guidelines to be released by NParks on the risks of using aversive animal training devices.
Mr Desmond Lee: The guidelines that the National Parks Board (NParks) will be releasing on aversive animal training devices, including electric shock collars, are meant to highlight the risks of using such devices and recommend good training practices to be adopted by the community. As such, the guidelines will not impose any restrictions on the use of such devices.
Following the release of the guidelines, NParks will continue to monitor the situation before deciding if further measures are needed. Notwithstanding this, NParks will continue to investigate and take enforcement action in cases where animal training devices cause unnecessary pain or suffering to animals and to raise awareness on the least intrusive, minimally aversive approach to animal training.
