[QUOTE="Tim W, post: 8629259, member: 72"] Thanks :) You are also shooting the messenger :banghead: See the original post ---it asks when will rubber rings be banned for castration and i have pointed out the possible reasons for restrictions coming in at a future date (if they do)--- i have not argued that they are necessarily good reasons For the record; [B]Tail docking[/B] i think the need could be vastly reduced or even phased out in the medium term by genetics/selection --- [B]Castration[/B] i think is a useful tool for the sheep farmer but it will come under increased scrutiny and we will be encouraged to reduce it & use pain relief when we do castrate -- And I like to remember that you can't hide from your distractors/enemies so i am in favour of looking at the potential hurdles the industry faces and dealing with them rather than hiding from/ignoring them --- I also believe that there are larger welfare issues that we will have to deal with ----but i'll keep that for another thread otherwise i'll be accused of singlehandedly trying to decimate the UK lamb industry in a day :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
