Dirty jobs great show but wrong.

OMG I love this show but I just saw the episode where they are castrating lambs. I strongly recommend not watching this episode its just wrong. They use their mouths to castrate the lambs. I just thought I would share

[AmandaTolleson]

What do you mean use their mouths??!

What do you mean use their mouths??!

I saw the episode tonight also.

They bite down on the lambs testicles to get a grip and pull them out with their teeth. It's kind of like when you're trying to get the plastic off a new CD or something and you bite down and pull the plastic off. I can't imagine how much pain they were in.

That is standard practice in the industry...

It has been for a LONG time.

I saw it being done in college in an Ag Class.

[SarahMB]

Yeah, but come on...just because something is done traditionally doesn't mean it should be done. I think it should fall under animal cruelty laws, myself.

the guy said that it takes longer and more stressful when the tool is used. so its better for the animal. not sayin its not gross but when it comes to what keeps this planet going there are alot of gross things that id perfer not to do, and he seems to wanna do them all

The things people do never cease to amaze me. My previous boss used to have a farm and he said that they used to let the pigs in through a doorframe, and then slam the door really hard as they were almost through to castrate them (don't ask me the specifics because I just remember being utterly horrified that this was being done to any living creature). He said it was the least painful way to do it. I did ask him if he were to be castrated what his chosen method would be, but he declined to respond.

Anyway, I definitely do not care to watch this in action.
